For our "Letter to Santa" flex class, learners will need the following supplies to fully engage in the creative writing activities:

1. Printer and Paper: Parents will be provided with templates, which can be printed for children to use as a guide while writing their letters to Santa; however, each activity will need to be printed.

2. Coloring Supplies: Crayons, markers, or colored pencils to add a festive touch to their letters.

3. Envelopes and Stamps: Envolvopes and stamps will be needed for learners to mail their letters.

Our "Letter to Santa" class is designed to be festive, fun, and suitable for all learners. However, given the holiday theme, we may discuss traditional beliefs around Santa Claus, which some families may approach differently. I encourage parents to share their preferences or concerns with me, ensuring that the class aligns with their values.

No media content with official ratings will be used in this class. All materials and discussions will be age-appropriate and aimed at fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment.
