Gingerbread Town
Community building, one gumdrop at a time
gingerbreak town
Fifth-grade teachers from Park Elementary School, Signe Cook and Nicole Bieker, invited their students (and families) to participate in the 2020 Gingerbread STEAM Community Global Project. They joined 103 classrooms across North America in the task of reflecting on their community, its unique qualities, landmarks, and people, and engineering a gingerbread house to highlight what they found to be “special.”
With each graham cracker, gumdrop, and marshmallow perfectly placed, Park Elementary School’s fifth-grade students brought Great Bend landmarks to life this holiday season. Participating in the 2020 Gingerbread STEAM Community Global Project, students were challenged to reflect on their community and engineer the places and people that make their hometown thrive.
