First Post!

Then past two weeks have been busy as we prepare for our Christmas program.

Location:  Gym
Date:  Friday, Dec. 9
Time:  8:45
Theme:  Christmas songs and hockey
Costumes:  

• black or orange T-shirts turned inside out to hide logos
• hockey jersey only if you have one
• combed hair, clean faces and big smiles

In the next two weeks we will be having a lot of fun creating Christmas crafts.

On Thursday, Dec. 15, I would love for the children to bake ginger crinkles.  I have booked the kindergarten kitchen for the morning.  Please let me know if you can bring a batch of cookie dough and come and help us bake.  You may wish to just send along a batch of dough.  All help is appreciated.

Here's the recipe:
2/3 c vegetable oil
1 c white sugar
1 egg
1/4 c fancy molasses
1 3/4 c all purpose flour
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp each baking powder and soda
1/2 tsp salt
Whisk oil with sugar.  Whisk in egg until smooth.  Whisk in molasses.  In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients.  Pour in wet ingredients and stir until moist dough forms.  
Using a tablespoon, form dough into individual balls.  Roll each in sugar.  Bake on lightly greased cookie sheet.  375 degrees 12 minutes or until flattened, cracked and browned all over. Let cool completely.
