Thursday the 17th we will have our Christmas lunch and gift exchange. I want to have lunch in the room. We will have pizza and Capri-suns. If you would like to bring something sweet that would be wonderful. On Friday we will watch The Polar Express. Students are allowed to wear their pajamas. (please be appropriate) We will have hot chocolate and popcorn. Don’t forget we get out at 11:00 on Friday. Students voted to have a secret friend this year. They drew names and will be doing secret friend things like drawing pictures, writing a short note, bringing a small piece of candy, etc. for each other each day until they reveal themselves to their secret friend on Thursday, December 17th when we exchange gifts. We will have a chapter book ($5.00 limit) for our gift exchange this year. Please send in a new wrapped chapter book by Monday, Dec. 14th addressed to your child’s secret friend.
