**I have been confused about that last week of school before break. Despite what I have written in newsletters and on earlier versions of this post, the last full day is in fact Tuesday, December 18, and the half day is Wednesday, December 19. Sorry for the confusion. I am pretty excited though--I just got a day off that I didn't know about!
We are down to a couple of weeks to plan our party celebrating the end of our first semester and our winter break. I am aiming for the afternoon of our last full day, Tuesday, December 18, or the morning of the half day, December 19. Do any of you have any ideas or suggestions for activities? Please feel free to use the comments section of this post to share ideas. I would love for each student to donate an item for the celebration so no one person has to spend a lot. I am open to any ideas!
The students' last day, the 20th, is a half day. I am looking at having a read-in that day. Students can bring in blankets and pillows and plan on hanging out and reading. It is a fun way to send everyone off into break.
Finally, this will be in tomorrow's newsletter too, but I am offering a quick, one-week book order this week. That way, I know we will get them shipped to us in time. Any orders you have will need to be sent in or placed online by the end of the day Friday. If you would like to browse or order online, visit https://orders.scholastic.com/HWFT6 There are many more books available online if you would like to check it out. If you would like to make any purchases for gifts and need them kept a secret, please drop me a note to let me know. When the books arrive, I'll contact you to arrange a pick-up.
Have a great week everyone!

I can come up with a craft or two and provide needed supplies. If you're interested, please let me know, so that I can propose some specific ideas.
Take care. Laura Alabed
Maybe a breakfast/brunch during the read-a-thon on the last (half) day and have kids come in their PJ's if that's allowed. Parents could make pancakes or breakfast casseroles, or cinnamon rolls, hot chocolate, juice, etc.
Maybe make nice holiday/thank you cards for their parents/family to thank them for all they do or wish them happy holidays. I think I have some winter/holiday stuff to make cards, and I have tons of Christmas cards for kids who celebrate Christmas.
Renata ( John's Mom) - Really like the breakfast idea! =)
Breakfast sounds fun! I'd be happy to send in cinnamon rolls. I also have one of those old fashioned electric carafes with the spout on the bottom we could use to heat water for hot chocolate.
