Christmas Cards in Class

Extra or left-over wrapping paper? Wondering what to do with it?

How about homemade Christmas cards?!
YAY!

Take a piece of white printer paper and fold it hamburger style and then just glue on pieces of paper to create a nice Christmas scene. Then add glue and glitter and a nice note on the inside (ps write the note BEFORE doing glitter!) and you've got a really cute card that your kids can stick a coupon in (as a gift) and give to you or their siblings.

Here are some that my students did today. (I can't show faces without parent permission so it is just their cards. ha ha)

Also, our school is trying to collect 800 pairs of PJs ranging from K-6th grade sizes. We are donating them to "The Road Home". It's a place where homeless families can go when they are trying to get back on their feet. Mothers are allowed to go into the "Candycane Corner" and select new PJs for each of their children and 800 of those choices will be coming from our school! If our students get to 800 pairs as a school, we will have a PJ party, hot chocolate, and watch the Polar Express on the last day of school. (Which is WEDNESDAY if you can believe it! BOO to still being in school.)

I promised my students that if we could get 30 total for our class (at least one for each student in our class) then I would add in an extra treat for the party. I made sure to bring a few pairs to show my support and added it to my class's total numbers. We are at 26! The school as a whole is in the mid 700's as of today. Yay kids! Keep it up!
