  • Classroom Gift Exchange-For our gift exchange, we would like each child to bring in a small treat for each child in their class. Some ideas might be a pencil, candy cane, eraser, or other small items. Please make sure the item is wrapped, if it is food. We also would like each child to bring in a box wrapped in wrapping paper. The box needs to be able to be opened without unwrapping it. So, either wrap the lid separately or choose a box with flaps that can open and close. The kids will be putting the items they brought to share in each other’s boxes. We have 26 students in our class.
