Help with donations

This upcoming week, our class will be reading a variety of gingerbread stories and learning about different story elements - characters, setting, problem, and solution.  More about this later in the week!  To complete our study of these stories, we plan to make gingerbread cookies in class and give them away to various people in our school as a thank you for all they do.  We need your help to make this happen!  We are looking for donations of ingredients and also looking for someone to bring the already rolled out and cut cookies home to bake!  If you can help with donations or are willing to bake the cookies at home, please email me by Wednesday morning!  Thanks!

To celebrate the winter solstice next week, we will be looking closely at day and night and learning a little bit about the sun.  We plan to have "day in the dark" on Friday, December 21st.  We will be working all day in the dark and will be looking for flashlights, lamps, etc that could be used during the day.  More details about this soon but in the meantime, look around for those lights!  If you'd like to make a donation of glow sticks for each member of our class, please let me know.

Thanks for all your continuous help throughout the year.  The children are not the only ones I am noticing going above and beyond - all families are too!  I appreciate all your efforts to send in materials, volunteer, and help out at home!  Thank YoU!
