Happy Halloween!

Halloween is just around the corner!  Our party is Monday October 31 from 8:45-10:30.  Our party is with the other Kindergarten classrooms in the Elementary cafeteria.

The children will be involved in some fun activities during that time including a story, crafts, games and donut decorating.

The children should bring (not wear) their costumes to school that day in a bag with their name on it.  We will help dress them at about 8:15 and plan to parade in the elementary hallway to the lunchroom at 8:45.  We are asking the children DO NOT bring any items to school (as part of their costume) that would appear to be a weapon such as knives, guns, swords or wands.

I am including a reminder note if you planned to donate something for our party or volunteered to help.  If you cannot make it please contact me as soon as possible.  If you find you can help us out and didn’t sign up earlier, please call!  Extra hands are always helpful! J

A reminder that there is NO school on Tuesday November 1, as teachers are in meetings for Professional Development.

We will begin a letter a week and learning sight words!  PLEASE practice these on a daily basis!  Our first letter is M.  We will learn the letter, sound and be practicing the correct way to write it.  Sight words are I, a, the, see and can.    I’ll keep you updated! 

I hope the children have an opportunity to be read to or are reading to you every night!  This is extremely important for them!  Remember to turn in the OCTOBER BOOK-IT calendars on November 2!  Another one will come home that day!  HAPPY READING!
