- Ms. Kensmoe sent home a letter last week about the upcoming fall festival and our class basket. I am including some of that information here. 🎬🎟️😀We will be working together on our MOVIE NIGHT themed raffle basket. In order to make a fantastic basket, we need help from all of the families in the class. We rely on your generosity to make the basket a success. Any donation is greatly appreciated. Please see sign up genius/donations suggestion below. Once items are collected I will take all of these items to create our class basket. Donation Sign up genius Please send in your donation by Monday, October 9th. However, the sooner the better as this allows us more time to build a terrific basket.
- 📚🕵️Would you be interested in being a mystery reader in our classroom? This is great for parents, grandparents, or maybe even high school age or older siblings. All you have to do is choose a date, and send me 3 fun facts/clues about yourself. The students will have fun trying to guess who is coming to read that day. This will be 15-20 mins at either 12:45 or 2:00 pm. You can choose a book or I can pick one for you. Please check the link here to sign up. I will post more slots in January.
