Date due: Tuesday, February 21, 2012
TREASURES OF THE WORLD WINTER EVENT PROJECT
The PTA is sponsoring a Winter Event on Saturday, February 25, 2012. In preparation for this exciting day, we would like the children create a poster treasure chest that shows “treasures” from a country of their choice.
- Choose a country that you would like to learn more about.
- Learn about your country using magazines, internet, books, travel brochures or any other sources.
- Here are some topics that might be interesting: Flag, Foods, Animals, Holidays, Weather, Location, Landforms, Art, Music, Stories
- Draw or create a treasure chest on a HALF-size piece of poster board.
- Label your poster “Treasures from (country name)”
- Now fill the chest by gluing down pictures of “Treasures” from your country.
- You may draw pictures, use photographs, or cut out pictures from magazines or travel brochures
- Label your pictures!
- Be ready to tell the class all about the “treasures” you discovered from your country!
Allergy Alert:
We are a peanut/nut free classroom. Please send in "nut free" items for snack.
So what kinds of foods are good to bring to a nut-free classroom? Here are some ideas. Always check labels on packaged foods.
- Fresh fruit. Bananas are popular year-round, apples and pears are great in the fall, and clementines are easy to peel and available through the winter, just to name a few.
- Cheese. Most cheese is nut-free, including kid-friendly string cheese and convenient cheese cubes.
- Vegetables. Baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, and cauliflower are among the vegetables some kids will eat raw. Small containers of plain yogurt, salad dressing, or sour cream may be good dips.
- Raisins and other dried fruits.
- Pudding cups.
- Air-popped popcorn.
- Applesauce. The healthiest and most convenient type is unsweetened applesauce in single-serving cups.
- Fruit snacks.
Birthday Celebrations:
New for 2011 "The Birthday Book Bash"
Birthdays will be celebrated with nonfood items. I would like to request that you choose to donate a book to our classroom library in honor of your child's birthday. I will be writing "Happy Birthday" to your child on the inside and cover and have the class sign the book. I will read the book aloud to the class on your child's birthday. I'm looking forward to making this a very special celebration that the class will look forward to! Summer birthdays may choose any date to celebrate in the classroom.
