Halloween Party &
Parade
Please come and watch our parade. It will be outside (weather permitting) in
the back of the school. We will begin at
1:40 on Thursday, Oct. 31 and will parade outside beginning in front of the
school and will circle around to the back of the school. We will then return to our classrooms for
our party.
The students should bring their costumes to
school. We will help them get dressed prior to the parade. Since the students will have a treat and a drink
at the party, no additional candy treats are necessary.
Author of the Month
Our
“author of the month” for October is Lois Ehlert. This week we read Color Zoo and
Color Farm. We are
working on making our own colorful animals using a shape template and
markers. The children will then write a
couple of sentences to tell about their animals.
Field Trip
On
Monday, we will be going to Lewis University to see a play. We will be leaving around 9:30. Chaperones should be here by 9:15. We will return around 11:45 in time for

snack so make sure your child eats a good breakfast that morning. Thanks.
