Scary Monsters Descriptive Writing Activity




Halloween 2012




Thanksgiving Feast - November 15th


On Thursday, November 15th, 2012, the 5th grade classes will be feasting together as one big happy family, but I will need your help in order to make it happen. I would like to make the theme a “Nutritious and Delicious Thanksgiving” where homemade food is shared and appreciated. We are asking parents to bring in different types of "traditional and specialty" dishes, paper goods, and desserts for the children and parents (those who can make it) to enjoy. I will also need 4-6 parents/volunteers to help out with the set up of the food and tables and also the clean up. Please sign up below for something to contribute and let me know if you will be able to attend and help out.



Traditional dishes:
*turkeys (sliced) (2)
*ham (sliced)
*mashed potatoes/ gravy
*stuffing
*sweet potatoes
*corn
*mac and cheese
*green bean casserole
*house salad or Caesar salad with dressings
*desserts:
             pies (pumpkin) (2)
            fruit salad or fruit kebabs
 cookies or cupcakes
 brownies
 ice cream/ whipped cream   
*Drinks: Apple cider/Water/Juice

Paper goods needed:
*large plates
*small plates

Although the 5th grade is dining together, we need only enough for our class and volunteers. Please plan on making enough for about 30. Please also provide labeled utensils!
