** Christmas Party – It’s the time of the year! Our class will be having Christmas Party on Dec. 13. Students may bring their favorite PJs on a Monday (no slippers / must wear shoes)!
To make this season meaningful and exciting, our students will be doing a BOOK EXCHANGE. Each student suggested a book they would like to receive for Christmas. Please sign up for ONE book to avoid duplicates.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR ROOM PARENTS
This year we are excited to announce we will be able to have a Christmas party in school. We will be having the celebration next Monday, 12/13 after lunch from 1-3pm. We will be ordering pizza and having snacks for the kids, they will also have a white elephant book gift exchange and do some crafts.
We are asking each student that will
be participating in the event to donate $10 for the food and snacks. This way the room parents can grab what they need and parents don’t have to worry about grabbing a fruit bowl or drinks etc for the class. Hoping this makes it easier for everyone
The kids will be able to wear their PJs, since their is school penance that day the kids can pack their PJs in their backpack and then change at lunchtime if they would like.
For the white elephant gift exchange any of the kids that would like to participate we are asking them to bring 1 WRAPPED book $10max to exchange. Ms. Garcia received a list of books all the students would like and has posted them on signup genius. If you can sign up for one of books on the list and wrap it and have your child bring it for the exchange would be great, this way we can avoid duplicates. Please note you do not need to select the book your child wrote down since the gift they bring will be for someone else.
Please sign up for the book you would like to bring by Wednesday,12/8.
Here is the sign up genius for the BOOK WISHLIST https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0549A9AD2CA4F85-christmas
