Time for Kids: All about Giraffes
 PhyEd Today
 ~We have a gift wrapping play center set up in our classroom now. The kids will have fun wrapping one of the following items to give to a friend: teddy bear, necklace, car, crayons, or a ball. This center helps the kids determine whether the gift should be wrapped in a small, medium, or large piece of paper. Other skills are: cutting, taping, and writing friends' names. To watch the recipients open a gift from a friend is priceless as both parties enjoy the anticipation. The gift is then returned to the wrapper for 're-gifting' to another friend. The fun keeps going on and on!
If you have any tape to spare, we could use some! Thanks!

~Please return the Club's Choice orders tomorrow if you didn't do so today. Thank you for helping our school!
~Report cards will be sent home Wednesday, December 3.
~The silly turkey made her visit last week...
