Make a Gingerbread House Using Excel

Today, I am going to teach you how to use Microsoft Excel. You can use Excel to create spreadsheets with rows and columns of different information.
I have already opened Microsoft Excel for you on your computers.
Everyone will create a gingerbread house.
I will pass out a color key to each student for you to follow. Let's practice on the Smartboard before you start working on your own gingerbread house.

These students need to finish and print the Pic Collage you created on Tuesday.
