An Afternoon Filled with Holiday Activities!

Dear Parents,
            As the holidays are fast approaching, we are interested in having a holiday craft and activity afternoon on Wednesday, December 21, from 1:15 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.  We would love for you to join us! 
            We are looking for parents to plan and run stations. Interested parents are asked to come prepared with an educational craft or activity that would take a total of 10-15 minutes to complete, and should be based around math, reading, writing, social studies, and science.  Any activities utilizing technology would be great! For example, a math station may be adding and subtracting with candy canes.  Parents could even work together to run connected stations.  A language arts example would be reading a Christmas story like A Wish to Be a Christmas Tree by Colleen Monroe, and then completing a craft such as decorating a paper Christmas tree. 
Please send your child’s teacher an email by Wednesday, December 14, letting her know your idea for a station.  If you would like to come in but can’t think of an idea, your child’s teacher will be more than happy to help you plan an activity. 
We are looking forward to an afternoon of fun to celebrate the holiday season!  We hope many of you will join us!
Your first grade teachers,   Rosanne Field & Catherine McIntire
