It was great to see so many parents atour Magic Treehouse Book Club Friday. Thank you for your support!
With the craziness of the week, we did not have a chance to select our Secret Santa names. We will take of that Monday morning. Sorry about the delay. Just in case you missed it, we will be having our Secret Santa gift exchange Thursday, December 21st. Here is how it works. Students will randomly select a person in the class to make or buy (no more than $10 please) a gift. You will then have until December 20th to make/purchase a gift for that person. Spend the time in between trying to discover the perfect gift for that child without letting on that you’re their Secret Santa. Have fun my Secret Santa detectives!! Please be sure to let me know if this will be a problem for your family so I can help out. I don’t want anyone left out on that special day.
We will be having our next class store Monday, December 18thjust in time for Christmas! Be thinking now of what you’d like to make for the store and start saving your money so you can do some Christmas shopping for your family and friends.We will also have the opportunity to buy and sell with Mrs. Payne’s class on this day so be sure to consider that when creating your items to sell.
Our field trip to see The Nutcracker Ballet is Friday, December 8th. Please have students dress for success or in holiday best. Here’s a reminder of the ParentSquare sent out to all second grade parents on November 17th, we were able to accommodate the additional parents expressing an interest to chaperone on the pink permission slips. (These are parents attending in addition those who expressed an interest via ParentSquare last month when Mrs. Payne sent out the second grade interest list.) If you have not already done so, please be sure to submit the $15.00 payment for the additional ticket.
