Secret Santa

Class 5-306’s Secret Santa

Class 5-306 will be participating in a Secret Santa this year. Students must spend no more than $2.50 on their Secret Santa presents.   Our Secret Santa will take place on Friday, December 23rd.  Students will also write a one-sentence clue on Friday, December 16^th to give a hint to their identity.

In addition, each student will also make a holiday card for their Secret Santa.  In this holiday card, students should write the card using details and compliments about the person.  We want every student to leave for Winter Break feeling positive.

We have materials such as markers, construction paper and glue if they need to be borrowed by students.  Other materials will need to be found at home. 

Some ideas for create-able items include, but aren’t limited to:

*Ornaments                                                                            

*Dioramas

*Cookies or other homemade foods                             

*Bookmarks           

*Mix CDs (of appropriate songs)                                        

*Keychains

*Crafts                                                                                      

*Pins/buttons

*Photo Frames                                                                        

*Poems           

*Jewelry                                                                                  

*Notebooks

You can also purchase items at 99 cent stores or discount stores.  Previous years, we've seen a nice mix of Pez dispensers, homemade goodies, notebooks, pens, books and more! WE WANT YOU TO GET CREATIVE!!! THE IDEAS ARE ENDLESS!

On Friday, we will have a celebration, and all Secret Santas will be revealed.  We will be watching a Winter-themed film while munching on some goodies. If you would like to send your child in with a treat, please let me know  

Country Project

306's Country Projects are due on December 20th. Students have been invited to come to our classroom during lunch or at 8am Tuesday - Thursday if they need extra time. Also, I have lightened the homework load with the intention that students will be using this extra time to work on their projects.

I can't wait to see the final projects! I know they will we wonderful!
