5-307 Secret Santa

Clss 5-307 will be participating in a Secret Santa this year, with a twist: All items must be homemade and created by the student (with some help from parents). Our Secret Santa will take place on Tuesday, December 23rd. Students will also write a one-sentence clue on Friday to give a hint to their identity.

We have materials such as markers, construction paper and glue if they need to be borrowed by students. Other materials will need to be purchased or found at home.

Some ideas for create-able items include, but aren’t limited to:

*Ornaments *Cookies or other homemade foods *Bookmarks
*Dioramas *Mix CDs (of appropriate songs) *Keychains
*Crafts *Pins/buttons *PhotoFrames
*Poems *Jewelry *Notebooks

WE WANT YOU TO GET CREATIVE!!! THE IDEAS ARE ENDLESS! You can find great ideas by searching the WEB!

In addition, each student will also make a holiday card for their Secret Santa.

On Tuesday, we will have a celebration, and all Secret Santas will be revealed. We will be watching a Winter-themed film and would like each student to bring in one snack item (healthy or unhealthy) of their choice. This could be any of the following:
*juice boxes *cookies *candy *pretzels *paper plates
*chips *fruit *candy canes *popcorn
