Multiplication Madness Celebration/Valentine’s Day Card Swap

**We will be passing out Valentine’s Day cards on February 14th (before the Multiplication Madness Celebration).  We have 26 students in our class.  I prefer for the students not address the student’s names on the Valentine Cards.  It takes double the time to pass them out if they are addressed to each individual student in our class.  Please have your child just sign each of their cards.  Remember not to send candy with your cards.  You can bring anything else that is not edible.  WE WILL NOT BE MAKING VALENTINE’S DAY BOXES OR BAGS TO HOLD CARDS.  STUDENTS ARE WELCOME TO BRING BOXES OR BAGS FROM HOME.  I WILL HAVE PAPER SACKS TO GIVE THE STUDENTS THAT NEED SOMETHING.**

We will need parents to help and volunteer with the Multiplication Madness Ice Cream Sundae Party.  Parents that are able to come and help us, please come to the Q1 gym on February 14th @ 1:30 in the afternoon.  I know a lot of parents aren’t able to make it to the party, but we are in need of food donations as well.  Our class is responsible for:
4- 5 quart tubs of vanilla ice cream (Winco is the cheapest)
9- bottles of whipped cream
Please let me know if you would like to help with volunteering and/or donating on this day.  Any parents that can come to help. please bring an ice cream scooper.  Thanks so much for all your support with all our extra shenanigans in third grade!  You’re all the best!!
