I’m sure you’ve all heard about our Grinch focus this month. We are spending lots of time talking about kindness and showing love to others.  IT has been awesome to see the students work extra hard to be super caring. To wrap things up in December, we will be having our Grinch Party next Friday, December 18th (with the entire third grade).  We will watch the movie “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” together in the gym.  The students will be given sugar popcorn (colored green) during the party.  We will also be giving the students “Grinch Pills” at the party (green Sixlets). PLEASE DO NOT tell your child about the treats we are having so we can surprise them. 🙂 If you DO NOT want your child to eat the sugar popcorn or “pills”, please let me know.  December 18th is a Dollar Dress Down Day, and we thought it would be fun for the kids to dress up like a “Who” or the Grinch.  Let’s be creative and have some fun celebrating our hearts growing 3 TIMES this month.   

In the afternoon on the 18th, we are going to play “The Wright Family” Christmas game.  So, I need every student to bring a White Elephant gift to school on December 18th.  This can be something funny you have lying around the house or you can go to the Dollar Tree to grab something.  Please DO NOT spend lots of money on this gift.  This gift should be something the students would like or be entertained with.  Be creative!  Please wrap this gift and bring it to school that day. Let me know if you need anything.  I have a few extra White Elephant gifts that I can let someone use if needed.  Thanks so much!
