Christmas Pajama Party

The grade 3's have been working really hard this past month. So, as a special treat we are having a little class Christmas party on Wednesday, December 20th during third block. We will be watching "The Polar Express" and enjoying some snacks that I will provide. Students are welcome to wear their favourite pajamas and bring in slippers and/or a stuffed animal for the day. There will also be a Christmas colouring station and a Christmas card making station as an option for the students to do while watching the movie. This is my Christmas gift to the class so please to do not feel obligated to send in anything to contribute.

Merry Christmas Grade 3's!

A very proud,

Ms. Juneau
