**This week is SPECIAL'S WEEK 2
**Thank you all for your help and participation in the 1st ever GSES Enrichment Cluster Fair. The students worked very hard and were
excited to share what they had been doing.
**Our Holiday Party will be December 19th at 12:30pm. We will present our class Reader's Theatre, make a craft, and enjoying snacks
on this day. If you would like to send in an item for our snacks, please let me know by sending an email or note written in your child's
agenda by Wednesday, December 10th.
** To go along with our Social Studies Economic lessons including scarcity, needs, wants, etc. our class will be collecting items to be
donated to the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia. This time of year it is very easy to get wrapped up in receiving, however, I would
like for our class to also practice giving. I have spoken to the donation coordinator and obtained a list of items they are in need of.
The list can be found under the Parent Information file or on the back of the Holiday paper coming home on Tuesday. I understand if
you cannot participate at this time, but If you would like to donate any items to be taken on behalf of our class, please send in your
donation by December 19th. I will take a class picture with all items and deliver all items after school on the 19th.
