December 20th

The student council is putting on a fun dress-up day on Friday, December 20th.  The kids can wear elf hats, santa hats and slippers.  In our class, it is also our Polar Express day and so they can wear their pajamas as well!

Giving Tree

The student council is asking for canned goods or dry goods to put underneath our Jefferson Christmas tree. The goods will be donated to the Salvation Army. 

All Aboard the Polar Express

      It’s time to get ready for our Christmas party!  This year we will have a Polar Express theme party.  We will have hot chocolate, read The Polar Express, eat treats, watch the movie and see what goodies our classmates left in our stockings.  Of course the students will have to come in their pajamas!! 

We will have hot chocolate and apple cider.  I will provide the drinks, but would like for you to bring in treats or snacks (if you would like).  Sweets are always popular around this time of year (no cake, please), but most students actually like a salty snack when watching a movie (popcorn, pretzels, chips, meat/cheese, crackers...). Please let me know what you would like to bring.  

The party will be on afternoon of December 20th.
