Happy Halloween!

Let's get right down to the business at hand!  While we have been learning a lot this week about bats, segmenting words and good number writing...what we are really thinking about is
Halloween!
A few things to remember!!

• Do not send your child to school in costume.  
• Costumes will be put on at 1:00 in the afternoon.
• Label ALL parts of a costume. 
• NO weapons as part of a costume.
• Room Parents have worked hard to plan a party with some "fun food".  Please do not send additional food or candy to the party unless you signed up on our sign up genius.  
• All parents are welcome to watch the parade at 1:40.  If it is not raining-we will be outside-so please help your child think about how to wear the costume over a jacket or under a jacket.  They don't like to cover it up once it is on...but with the temps predicted, they will freeze without a jacket!  
• All parents are welcome to join us for the party.  We will likely go right up to the bell.  Please come in and help us pack up at the end of the day! (No need to wait outside for us...just c'mon in and help your child gather all their belongings.  

Picture Retakes is MONDAY NOVEMBER 3rd.  If your child was absent, plan on getting pictures taken.  If your child's picture was unsatisfactory, please return the whole package and write a note explaining why you want a retake.

Wednesday, November 5th is our 50th day of school!  Remember to dress up like it was the 1950s!  Just a few ideas:  Boys can wear rolled up jeans, put gel in their hair and wear a cardigan.  Girls can wear a poodle skirt or longer skirt, bobby socks and a high pony tail!  Pearls are a lovely touch!

Monday, November 10th:  No School for Veteran's Day

Tuesday, November 25th:  Field Trip to Brookfield Zoo!  Can you chaperone?  Let me know!  We'd love to have you.  Chaperones don't ride the bus, so the earlier we plan carpooling, the better!
