Holiday Party 2009

      Our class will be having a small holiday party on Friday, December 18, 2009 from 12:45 – 1:40.  We will be celebrating holiday traditions that are special to your family and cultural background.  Each student has offered to bring in a game, food item, or object that represents a part of their holiday tradition.  We have all discussed that due to the number of food items being brought in, the students just need to make enough for at least 15 people (approximately 1/2 the class) to prevent us from having too many leftovers. 

      We will also be doing a holiday gift exchange this year.  Each student will be picking a name out of a hat and their job will be to bring in a bookmark which represents the personality/interests of the recipient.  They must bring in their bookmark by Thursday, December 17^th.  I have mentioned to the students that the bookmark may be hand-crafted or purchased. 

      The students and I will be making Gingerbread houses between 11:00 – 12:05.  I will be allowing them to bring in candy to decorate their houses.  Powdered sugar will not be allowed.  I will be providing the frosting and the gram crackers.  We will also be watching holiday movies in the morning.  A request for permission to watch the movies will be in your child’s agenda during the week of December 14^th, 2009. 

      The students and I have agreed to make Friday, December 19^th pajama day.  I welcome the younger siblings and all of you to help celebrate the upcoming holidays with us. 

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Sigrist
