4th Grade Newsletter Mrs Meridith
December 2017 & January 2018
News
Our music program is on Thursday, December 7th. Please have your child at Sunflower by 6:45 pm. He/she will need to leave their coat or jacket with a parent or relative. All 4th grade students will be meeting in the multipurpose room/cafeteria to line up for the program. We will not be going to classrooms.
Gingerbread Houses
Our class will be decorating gingerbread houses on Monday the 18th. I will be sending a sign up genius for everyone to sign up if they are interested in donating for it. The kids always seem to really enjoy decorating the houses.
Christmas Party
All Sunflower Christmas parties are on Monday the 18th. Our party will be from 2:15-3:00. Below is the list of who signed up to help out. We can decorate the Gingerbread houses during the party if we don't have a game.
Panther Families
Each panther family is collecting items for someone in a nursing home. We have boxes in the front of Sunflower for our items to go in. Your child will know if their nursing home person is a man or a woman. This is a great way for your child to give to someone in need. The men and women at the nursing home absolutely LOVE getting goodies. Thank you for everyone donating!! We really appreciate your generosity.
