Good Eats

A few delicious events coming up....
 
Stone Soup - Friday, January 9
As you know, one of our reading stories this week is The Real Story of Stone Soup.  We will also be reading different versions of this folktale.  This is a folktale of three travelers who come upon a village.  In order to build community and to teach the lesson that sharing can bring happiness, the travelers begin to make a stone soup in which the whole community contributes ingredients.  As a follow-up activity and keeping in sync with the theme of the story, our class will be making our own version of stone soup on Friday, January 9.  In order to do so, each child should bring one ingredient (see the paper sent home today, or just bring something to share) to contribute to our soup.  If this will indeed be a hardship for you, please do not feel obligated.  Your child may bring their ingredient in anytime between now and Friday.

Christmas Happenings

1st, 3rd, and 5th grade parents are invited to attend Christmas dinner with their students!  It will be on Thursday, December 11.  Our class time will be from 12:05-12:45.  We would love to have you.
 
Also, Santa's Secret Shop is coming to our school.  This program makes it possible for children to experience the joy of choosing their own special holiday gifts for family and friends.  The shop will be set up in the library next week, December 8-12, and volunteers will help children select gifts.  Envelopes were sent home yesterday, providing students with what they need to purchase gifts.
 
Finally, our class Christmas party will be on Thursday, December 18.  More details will go home next week with students.
