Secret Santa

Fifth Graders in Ms. Bakken's Class have asked if we could do a Secret Santa this year.

I decided with it being the 10th already. . .  they would have to MAKE their present, Not buy it.

 I do not want this to be an extra burden for parents! There is way too much craziness already in the month of December!

Participation is NOT mandatory, only those who want to do this put their names in to be drawn.

We brainstormed ideas and came up with things like: draw a picture, make an origami gift, write a poem, or make something from a kit that you have on hand. (beaded or string bracelet...) Bookmarks are also easy and useful.
