Spring Fling - April 9, 2016
Spring Fling is coming up! This is a great opportunity to come out and support our school. There are a variety of games and activities for all the kiddos to do.
Our class will be creating a silent auction basket with another classroom. Our assigned basket is games. This could be board games, card games, outdoor games, etc. I will have a sign up sheet on Shutterfly by the end of the week. I have attached pictures below of some ideas. Please let me know if you have any questions.
We also need to start collecting full 2 liter bottles for the ring toss. If you are able to donate please let me know and you can bring them in at any time. We will find a place to store them!
We will also need vendors! If you would be interested in having a booth at the spring fling let me know and I can get you the information! :)
Read Across America
We would love to celebrate Read Across America day with you! On March 2nd we will be inviting parents to come and read their favorite story to the class. It does not necessarily have to be by Dr. Seuss. It may be a book you especially loved to read as a child or one that you enjoyed reading with your kiddo! We will be able to have four readers come in throughout the day. Two in the morning and two at the end of the day.
There is a sign up sheet on our Shutterfly of the available times. If you are not able to sign up for a time and would still like to come read to the class, please let me know and we can work something out another day!
