Holiday Celebration

Holiday Celebration

Our class will be having a gift exchange this Friday, December 19th. The gift should be NO MORE than $5.00 and it MUST be something students can use in class (i.e. pencils, erasers, markers, etc). Boys should bring items for boys and girls for girls. Please only put who the gift is FROM, not who it is TO (that will be determined through the game we play). You are more than welcome to join us at 12:45 for our festive games. Please feel free to contact me directly if you don't wish to participate in gift exchange. In addition, we will be watching Because of Winn Dixie in the morning as we will have finished the book. Thank you!
