I hope all are doing well and had a festive Thanksgiving. Now is the time to start thinking about your Winter Parties and holiday gifts for your teachers and teaching assistants.
Suzi Guzman and I met last week to go over our game plan. Mrs. Creech (second grade) came up with a wonderful idea of a Gingerbread theme for our party, as the kids are going to be reading gingerbread books. If anyone would like me to shart the information she provided, let me know!
Suzi came up with a wonderful idea for our teachers gift - a holiday wreath that we will decorate with gift cards donated by our parents. We'll be sending out places that Mrs. Creech likes to shop/eat for gift card ideas.
We'll also be putting together a signup list (including monetary donations) for the party supplies and a gift our adopted teaching assistant, Mrs. Helman. We'll get the kids to sign cards for both Mrs. Helman and Mrs. Creech. For Mrs. Helman, we'll take some of the monetary donations and get her a gift card to one of her favorite places.
Please post to this blog with your winter party ideas and questions!
Thanks,
Samantha
