Halloween

No late start on Monday!! Come at 8:20 dressed in costume for the party.  No need to bring a backpack or snack.  The parade will begin at 8:45ish followed by an assembly for the kids until about 10:30.  We will come back to the room to begin the party at 10:30 and start cleaning up around 11:20.  All parents are welcome to join :)  Robyn and Shelby's moms will be in the room a little early (while we are at the assembly) setting up if you would like to assist.

**Kids who do not celebrate Halloween will go straight to the music room in the morning where they will have fun fall activities to enjoy :)

Thursday, Oct. 27th

Don't forget that the Insect Project is due tomorrow!! Makes sure to also send the sheet with the name and characteristics of your insect along with the actual project.  I can't wait to see them--the kids have been talking about them all week!!

Tomorrow is a PBS reward day for kids who have been on GREEN this month (with 2-3 yellows being 'forgiven').  We will be playing a game in the classroom to celebrate :)

Ask your child tonight to tell you a few things they have learned about bats this week.  We have been reading non-fiction and fiction books about bats and doing writing activities to help further our comprehension of the texts.

The haunted Garage has been rescheduled to this SUNDAY the 30th from 3-5pm (due to rain tonight)
