Classroom Chatter
I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe, and DELICIOUS Thanksgiving. I am thankful for my awesome 3rd grade class and what's to come in January...BABY! Enjoy your time with your family!
Conferences will be held the week of November 30th. I'm looking forward to meeting with you all at our conferences next week. Report cards will be coming home on Tuesday. Please keep them at home and just sign and return the envelope the report card come home in. Thanks.
On Friday, information went home about Prairieview's Holiday service project. Each year, Prairieview runs a service project around the holidays. Our effort will benefit a family that has a member with cancer. Each classroom at Prairieview has a family that is in need at this time.

This year our class has a very special family.
Our family includes:
-Mom
-Dad
-8 year old girl (cancer patient)
-9 year old sister
-4 year old sister
-3 year old sister
-11 year old brother
-19 year old brother
Sadly, the 8 year old girl has cancer. Not only does this family struggle with the stress of treatments and illness, but they are less fortunate than us financially too. In order to make this a special holiday, we have "adopted" them. If you are interested in sending in a NEW, not used, present for any one or more of the family members, that would be appreciated. You may send a "family gift."
Directions:
*Please wrap the gift
*LABEL the item with a POST-IT saying what it is (so I know what you bought and then I will remove the post-it)
*Use a name tag sticker and write who it is for (example: Mom, 8 year old girl, 19 year old brother)
Some ideas for NEW (not used) gifts include, but are not limited to: age appropriate games/toys, books, crafts, puzzles, winter hats/gloves, socks, bath and body, perfume, jewelry, candles, kitchen accessories, picture frames/albums, gift certificates, gift baskets, slippers, etc.
Gift cards to consider:
Jewel, Best Buy, Kohls, Wal-Mart, Target, Toys-R-Us, K-Mart, Sears, JC Penny, Carsons, Chili's, TGIFridays, Subway, McDonalds, Burger King, etc.
Thank you in advance for your support and generosity!!!!!!!!!!!!!
