Christmas Around the World Gingerbread: Yesterday you received information about a Christmas Around the World Project we will be doing. This week we will be learning about how 3 countries celebrate Christmas. Each child received information about decorating their own Gingerbread based off whatever Country they want to research. They will then fill out the boarding pass with information about why they want to visit that country based off of their research. I am including a Google Doc so each child can have their own country and there are no duplicates. There is also a picture example of the Gingerbread attached. I would like these by Friday so we can put a display in the hallway before Christmas.

Coats: Please make sure you are sending your child with a warm coat as we will be spending recess outside if the temperature is above 30 or wind chill above 25.
Snack: We have had a few questions about snack. Remember to send a healthy snack. Some great options include: popcorn, fruits, vegetables, gogurts, cheese sticks, nut free granola bars, crackers, etc. Please no items with nuts, sugar, chips, etc. I have been trying to teach and model for them what healthy snacks are. Also, fruit cups and applesauce are okay we just try to limit them since they can create a mess in our classroom and spoons are often lost.
Christmas Party: Be on the lookout for information coming about our Christmas party.
Book Orders; There is still a chance to order December book orders. I do not have paper flyers, but you can go online and order using our class code: P6PHM. Orders received before the 12th will be delivered in time for Christmas. Please let me know when you order online so I can make sure I properly do things on my end.
