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 Friday, 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.

details, summarizing, and evaluating.

Joshua will be our “student
of the week” from October 20-24.
In math we have been working on missing
parts of 10, such as 9+?=10 and using a table to solve a problem.
During
library time this past week, Mrs. Hayes took her classes to the computer lab
and worked on keyboarding skills. Since
we were gone on Monday, our classroom will be working on this with her next
Monday.
Have a fabulous weekend!
