GRATITUDE WEEK HOMEWORK

Families in Room 31 ~

This week we celebrate GRATITUDE WEEK.    In lieu of a written reading log, we are asking the students to MAKE A THANK YOUR CARD for each of the individuals we are honoring.  I’m am sending the list for the week and the students will bring home that paper for all the cards on Monday.  We have already made cards in school to honor Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Betti, our cafeteria superheroes and Mrs. Zimmerman, our fantastic school nurse!

They are to make the cards at night and bring it to school he nest morning.  The card should have a written message of gratitude inside and be colored / decorated appropriately on the outside.    We will collect that cards and hand them out to the appropriate individuals that day.

MONDAY NIGHT – Create a card for your BUS DRIVER or the person (mom / dad / aunt….) who drives you to school / picks you up.     (Clothing attire for TUESDAY – pajamas!)

TUESDAY NIGHT – Create a card for either Mrs. Lucchese (our secretary) or one of the Paraprofessionals such as Mrs. Grout – the 4^th grade paraprofessional who works in all the classrooms.

(Clothing attire for WEDNESDAY – wear a tie or bowtie!)

WEDNESDAY NIGHT – Create a card for Mr. Anderson, our fantastic custodian!  

(Clothing attire for THURSDAY – wear NEON colors!)
