Hi Everyone,
Today marks the end of our first quarter. The school year is passing quickly! We had such a fun week with Halloween and Room on the Broom. We hosted our stuffed animal friends today. I am so pleased with our little classroom family, and with the growth the kids are making. Have I told you I think your kids are the BEST? 😊
50th Day Celebration:
We will celebrate the 50th day of school next Thursday, November 7th with some fun, 1950's themed activities. (I sent a note home with all the details.) Students are invited to dress in 1950's-style attire that day. We will learn fun dances, complete some crafts, and have root beer floats. (Please note: root beer is soda; there is NO alcohol in it!) If you do NOT want your child to have a root beer float (made with root beer and vanilla ice cream), please let me know as soon as possible, and before next Thursday, November 7th.
No Homework Next Week:
There will be no homework or new words of the week next week due to our short week.
Turkey of the Year:
Turkey of the Year voting began today, and will go on for the next few Fridays! Your child must read to vote for the staff member he/she would like to see come to school dressed in a turkey suit. One hour of reading equals one vote. Each Friday, please sign and return that week's voting slip. If you lost the voting slips, please write a note to indicate how many hours your child read during the previous week, sign it, and send it to school on Friday.
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
Don't forget...the kids don't have school Monday or Tuesday due to Teacher Work Days. Enjoy the long weekend!
