Traditionally, my classes haven’t exchanged gifts in the classroom, but have shared in activities that promote the spirit of the season.
The first is sponsored by Merchant’s Bank. Every year they collect food to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. If you’d like to contribute, your child can bring a nonperishable food item to school until December 10th (I’ll make sure that the goods are delivered appropriately). Thank you in advance for taking part in 10 Days of Giving.
Our classroom participation will also include a First-Grade Trading Post. I’m asking that each first grader bring two “gently-used” books to school that can be placed in a trading post. After two weeks of browsing through the used book collection, students will be allowed to select a couple to keep. Trade your old stories for “new” ones!
Please contact me if you have any questions.
