December 22, 2011

Don't forget a juice box for our party! For the party at 11:00 we will be having a slice of pizza and a treat.

We will also have our traditional Holiday Grab Bag! Don't forget to bring in a gently used wrapped book tomorrow and join in the fun!

I saw many impressive book reports! It was fun seeing the creative gifts for your main character and hearing why you chose that gift. I could see the pride and effort that went into these reports.

3P & 3D Holiday Grab Bag

A BOOK IS A PRESENT THAT CAN BE OPENED OVER AND OVER!

A great way to recycle your gently used chapter books and get a different one in return is at the

3P & 3D Holiday Grab Bag.

Please send in one gently used 3rd grade chapter book wrapped! Each child who brings in a book will pick a book from the sack. If your book is girl or boy specific please mark it on the outside. During the party we will be serving pizza and a snack. Please send in $1 and bring in your own juice box.

Don't forget your Book Report

Checklist: Wrapped present, gift card with why you picked this present, profile sheet, character trait stars. Due tomorrow! Please return your book, too.

We plan for the two third grades to have a combined holiday party and are asking each student to bring in $1 for a slice of pizza and their own juice box on Friday, 12/23.

Remember to write why you chose that trait and the page number where you found the idea. The special gift needs to be clever not obvious. The gift card needs to explain why that gift is appropriate for your character. Your effort and pride is very important to this project.
