Here is the homework for this weekend:
Operation Door Decorating - there is a contest going on here at the school where each class is to decorate their classroom door. There are many good looking doors right now at the school, but we have decided to have "Operation Door Decorating". We are asking for some assistance with this task. If you have any spare Christmas decorations that we may borrow (it will be returned to you in the new year) to send it to school. We are looking for a few items:
Christmas lights (preferably indoor lights)
Toilet paper rolls - empty (for a manager scene)
Tensile
Non-breakable bulbs
Old Christmas cards
Basically anything you can spare would be greatly appreciated. Please do not buy anything. I think that we will have a lot to use if every one was able to spare just 1 item. We have a great plan and looking forward to putting up our door and sharing pictures of it with you next Thursday! Judging is going to be in the final week of school on Tuesday, December 15th. Thanks in advance.
