Reminder: Students
received a note about participating in our “Secret Pal” activity next week. If
you do not want your child to participate, please let me know.
Students have a
letter in their bag with more detail about this assignment. Here is a peek at
what it says:
Each night for homework, beginning Monday,
December 16th and continuing through Friday, December 20th,
your child is responsible for writing a daily compliment for his/her secret pal
AND working at home on a homemade gift to be given on Friday, December 20th.
Please help your
child keep their secret pal, secret.
Stay Warm!
