Week of Dec 14-18

NO TUTORING this week. We will start again after we return back in January.

REMINDER: Secret Santa gifts are due Wednesday, December 16th. Please let me know if you need help getting the gift. They can be created, homemade, under $5 from the store, or gently used from home. They need to come wrapped and labeled with just the student’s name on them, not who they are from.

Friday is our class holiday party. Unfortunately, I cannot have any parent volunteers in my classroom for this. Hopefully later in the year we can start having parent help again. However, thanks for all your support outside my classroom with your students. They are doing such great things this year, even amid all of this crazy.

Friday is the only day that elementary students will come dressed differently. The other activities are just for the Jr. High building. Friday is a free dress down day-wear a Christmas (ugly) sweater or fun christmas attire. Friday is early out day – dismissal is 1:00! Students will return back to school on January 4th. Enjoy Winter break!!!

Secret Santa Exchange

This year our class will be having a Secret Santa gift exchange instead of our Annual 4th grade rendezvous due to Covid-19. Here is how we will make the exchange work: Students will draw names Monday and buy/find an item that is valued at about $3-$5 dollars. It can be new or gently used, or even homemade. The gift needs to be brought to school wrapped and labelled with just the receivers names-NOT whom it is from. This way the exchange will be a secret.

It is optional to bring gifts. I would like all of the kids to participate if they are here Friday, December 18th. If you would rather me buy the gift and bring it for the students, please let me know. So, that I have time to gather and wrap any extra gifts.

The gifts have to be in the classroom by Wednesday, December 16th. So, I can have time to let all the cooties die for 3 days before giving them to students to take home on Friday December 18th.

Thanks, Let me know if there are any questions.
