HOLIDAY FAIR:

The holiday fair is on Tuesday, December 13, 2011.  If you would like your child to purchase gifts at the fair please complete and return the form that was sent home.  List the names of individuals you would like your child to buy gifts for on the form.  Please only include immediate family members (mom, dad, siblings, step-parents, etc…).  Students will not have time to purchase items for other family members.   Send quarters to school with your child in a sealed envelope or baggy labeled with your child’s name.  Please put all money in their folder.  I will collect it in the morning.  This will assist in organizing and planning for our visit to the fair on Tuesday morning. 

GINGERBREAD HOUSES:

We will be making gingerbread houses on Wednesday morning.  Thank you to ALL families who donated an item for this project.  There is still time to send in a donation for this project.  We will be using all leftover items on Friday to decorate gingerbread cookies as a conclusion to our unit.

**Please note: the gingerbread house your child brings home will NOT be edible.  We will be using glue to construct the house. 

REMINDER:

There will be NO school on Friday, December 23, 2011. 

DONATIONS:

Below is a list of items our class is in need of as we enter the new year.  In addition to the sundry items, the items below will be used for academic projects and games. The beginning of the school year has been very successful. Thank you for your continued help in support.
