Busy Time of the Year!

Lots of Business

The Fun Run is on Tuesday!  This is one of our biggest fund raisers of the year!  If you have not already done so, please set up an account for your child HERE.   Your child will run around the field first thing on Tuesday morning.  They love running around and meeting our Eagle Mascot!  Your child should wear running shoes to school on Tuesday and be prepared to run outside in the morning.  

Halloween Party

Our room parents are busy planning a Halloween Party for next week.  Please check your emails for a sign up from them.  A few notes about Halloween:

• We will be making applesauce that morning as one of our treats for the party.  Please send in an apple on Monday or Tuesday of next week!  
• Children should NOT wear costumes to school.  They will change into their costumes after lunch.  LABEL EVERYTHING!   There are 20 kids changing into 20 costumes.  Things get mixed up.  
• Irving Halloween Parade is a great tradition.  If you can swing by to watch it, you won't regret it.  Stay for the party.
• NO WEAPONS of any kind as part of a costume.  No exceptions.  If you have to ask...the answer is probably going to be "no."
• Please do not send in any candy to be passed out that day unless it is part of our Halloween Party sign up.  I will not be allowed to distribute the candy so it will be sent back home.

Book Fair

We are going to the book fair Monday morning but it will be around all week.  It's a great way to build up the home library and support Irving's library at the same time.  If you send money in with your child, please mark it clearly for the book fair in an envelope. We can help your child purchase a book. 

Academics

I loved talking with all of you at conferences last week.  As you know we will continue to work on shapes in math.  We will be reading and writing lots of pattern books.  Our science focus will shift to apples this week.
