Holiday Hoopla!!

Dear Teacher;

Please surprise me with something fun this week, something that will take my mind off the fact that Santa doesn't come to my house in  a big way.  Help me to see the magic of the holiday because I don't have anyone at home to read bedtime stories to me, bake cookies with me or even to play with me over the long winter break.  Even though I don't always show it, I like school and YOU more than home.  I need something exciting to happen this week to keep my mind on my work and off my troubles.

Thank you for understanding my need for a little extra sleigh bell sound, a little extra hug, a little extra time with joy.  It's important to learn about this tradition  of giving even if it doesn't all make sense to me-tell me about it so I can grow up and make good family traditions of my own.

With warmest holiday wishes,
Your students

Two great clips are here:

The Polar Express (Lou Diamond Phillips reads this classic )
Twas the Night Before Christmas (a great video version)
A little elf told me 3rd grade did a fantastic reader's theatre of this book!!

Many exciting titles and movies are available in the library like this Q and A book, Mrs. Claus answers the real questions kids ask...which could be used as the beginning of a wonderful writing assignment!! 

Ho Ho Ho!!
