Super FUN Friday

My class has worked hard to earn enough class points to earn a party.   The class voted on an "Everything" party.  That means that all the ideas that students brainstormed, end up in one party.  So here is what goes:

1.  They can wear school appropriate pjs for free

2.  They can bring treats to share.

3.  If you allow it, they may bring electronic devices to use during the party time.  Please double check with the handbook on what is school appropriate.

4. Students will be having a bring your own "picnic" lunch in the classroom.  Hot luncher's will go get their lunch and bring it back to the class for picnic time. 

5.  Students may bring blankets and stuffies for the party.

Don't forget Open House starts tomorrow at 3:30pm and goes until 6:00pm.  Drop by and learn more about how our class works!  Stay for dinner and a movie.   See you tomorrow.
