I sent home information today regarding our winter party on Thursday, December 22nd. We plan to build gingerbread houses, but are in need of donated materials (graham crackers, vanilla frosting, and assorted candy). We welcome any kind of help for this party whether you are able to donate your time to help kids on the party day or are able to send an item to help us build gingerbread houses. Note that all donated items need to be in the original wrapper or box. Please consider filling out the volunteer form and sending it back to school with your child. We SO appreciate your help and want you to know that these parties would not be possible without your support.
Here's the "and such" part of today's entry.... :)
Picture retake day will be on Wednesday, December 7th. If you would like your child to have retakes, please make sure you send me a note so that I know I should send your child down to the media center. If you are happy with your child's first picture but don't like the background, Life Touch is able to change backgrounds without taking new pictures and can be contacted to do so.
Last but certainly not least, we will participate in learning about holidays around the world. If you and your child celebrate particular holidays around this time of year, we would very much like to acknowledge these holidays in our classroom. We will also participate in writing letters (practicing letter writing) to Santa. If you are uncomfortable with this activity, please let me know and an alternative will be given to your child. A simple email indicating your preferences and holidays celebrated will help me plan activities that are appropriate and respectful for all!!!
Thanks,
Liz Housman
