The Giving Tree

At the age of seven and eight many of the magically things in life are questioned. One of them is being “Is Santa real?” In class we have been talking about the qualities of Santa.  The students identified him as being generous and kind. They said he gives presents to them and the only thing Santa asks for in return is that everyone be nice.  In our classroom we have a Giving Tree. The students are going to have the opportunity to be just like Santa. I have a friend that is serving an LDS mission in Salt Lake. They have given me the needs of two inter-city families that are in need of a Christmas. I will be providing a list of items your child may bring to school for our class Sub-for–Santa. Please wrap the gift and identify the age and sex the present is for. Please have your child sign, From Santa. The list of needs will be posted on our blog and I will mark off items as they are purchased. This activity is optional. If you are unable to give a gift, one will be provided for your child to give. Everyone will get to be Santa!
