Fox and Bear Community

Thank you to all parents that contributed to our angel tree gifts.  The children will have a very happy time opening the wonderful gifts thanks to our Fox and Bear families!  We have a lot of fun activities coming up in the next weeks so please look at the Dates to Remember below.

Students should be at Ellis by 5:15 and meet in the hall way in front of the music room.  Students are invited to wear something nice for the performance. 

Peace and Giving Celebration            

 

Our Ellis Families are so kind and gracious, especially at this time of the year. As you are shopping for gifts in the upcoming weeks, in lieu of teacher gifts, please keep our classroom needs in mind.

The children will be talking, writing, and learning about how sharing and thinking of the needs of the whole class makes a peaceful classroom.  To become a peacekeeper is our goal.

Please look over our wish list. If you wish to purchase a gift for the class, send the wrapped gift in by Thursday, December 14.  Please label your child’s gift with his/her name.   We will open up gifts together during our celebration. The children will gain a stronger sense of responsibility for our community resources, and will, of course, be thrilled to see “their gift” put to use.  If you are unable to send in a gift...do not worry….We will have several gifts that we have purchased on hand for the children to open so that no one is left out at gift opening time!
