Title 1 Family Night
Our Family Reading Night was so fun!!! Thank you to all who were able to come out and enjoy some good food and math and reading activities with us! If you were not able to come, I still have your child's login cards for Everydaymathonline.com and Raz-Kids.com and I will be sending those home.
Delayed Start
Our October delayed start day is tomorrow, October 21. School will begin at 10:00am.
Halloween
Halloween is quickly approaching--next week!! We will be doing our annual Halloween parade through the school and, weather permitting, around town for a short ways. The 2nd grade will be doing a set of Halloween rotations in the morning. This will run sort of the same way as our Johnny Appleseed day did. The students will rotate through the 2nd grade classrooms and do something Halloweenish in each room. In our classroom we will be watching The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, so it's looking like I won't really need parent help for that part, but if you'd like to join us for the parade, you are welcome. There will be more information on time next week.
**Please send your child to school in regular clothes that day. They will have time to change into their costumes right after lunch, prior to our parade. Also, if they have any face paint that they would like to use, please send only what they are able to apply themselves as I will not have enough time to paint 25 faces. If they have weapons of any kind (even if they're completely plastic) DO NOT SEND THEM TO SCHOOL. Please save that part for trick-or-treating at night. Thanks for your help with this!!
And since we're already in our costumes, we will also be enjoying some treats in the afternoon. Because Halloween is such a 'candy and sweets' holiday, I would like to keep this part sort of low key. I'm thinking apple slices with carmel dip and a trail mix. If you would be willing to help with some of the ingredients, that would be great!
1 bag of apples - sliced (peeled if you want to, but you don't have to)
2 containers of carmel dip
1 bag of candy corn
1 bag of pumpkin candies
2 boxes of Chex cereal
1 bag of pretzels
1 bag of mini marshmallows
I will also be sending home a note to see who is able to help.
