Holiday Happenings!

Santa and Kids
Third Grade Holiday Happenings!

It’s difficult to believe Christmas is only 16 days away. Our classroom is buzzing with excitement over the upcoming holiday season. I wanted to let everyone know about the fun things we’ll be doing over the remaining school days. 

Due to the current economy and other considerations, we will not be exchanging Christmas presents. I am instead asking for a $3 donation to cover the cost of supplies for holiday crafts and activities. We’ll be making a special Christmas present for ourselves to help keep us warm and cozy this winter and ornaments to decorate your Christmas tree at home.

We won’t be left out! Students will receive a treat bag and a couple of presents from me. Rather than purchase presents for me, you may purchase much-needed items for the classroom. We are out of Clorox wipes. Several students need new binders and pencil pouches. So those would be great. We could always use more tissues! ‘Tis the season for the sniffles, too!

We will have our classroom Christmas party on Friday, December 21 at 12:30 p.m. I will need a couple of parents to help set up the room while we are at lunch. If you can help, please let me know. You will find below a list of things students wish to have for our party. You may send in items at any time. I’d like to have everything here by Tuesday, December 18th. This way, I’ll still have time to pick up anything we need.
  •  Cupcakes or Cookie Cake
  • Chips/ Dip
  • Sprite or Coke (Cans would be awesome!)
  • Plates
  • Napkins
  • Individually Wrapped Candies
  • Small toys or treats for goody bags (if you wish)
