Winter Holiday Party Book Exchange❄️🎉📚
Our Winter holiday parties are quickly approaching, and we have decided to do a book exchange game for one of our activities at the party.
Requirements:
Every student will need to bring a purchased (not used) chapter book that is appropriate for 5th graders. We ask that the book is gift wrapped and unlabeled and brought to their homeroom teacher no later than Friday 12/15. This way we can collect all the books ahead of time to make sure we have enough for every student prior to the day of the party. If you are able to purchase and gift more than 1 book, we would gladly accept extras just in case!
If you have any questions about the requirements for this activity, please let your student's homeroom teacher know. We are looking forward to a wonderful holiday celebration with our 5th graders!
