COLD WEATHER:

This week we are going to be experiencing colder temperatures.  Fall has finally arrived! With the colder weather, please be sure to send your child to school with a jacket, hat, scarf/neck warmer, and gloves/mitts.  It might be a good idea to begin sending your child to school with boots as well since the children are outside for at least 15 minutes at recess and at least 30 minutes at lunch time. Thank you :)

HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION:

On Monday, October 31^st, 2016, we will celebrate Halloween in my class.  We will do some special Halloween activities.  I encourage you to send your child to school with a costume if you'd like.  Here are some important points to remember for this day:

• no violent or scary costumes
• no masks
• no weapons (even plastic)
• Ms. Alexis (who teaches in my class for 1:15 minutes per week) has a student teacher working with her, her name is Ms. Stef.  Ms. Stef does face painting for children's birthday parties and would like to surprise the children by painting their faces that day.  Please inform me in writing if you would not like her to paint your child's face.  Please note that the paint will wash off easily with soap and water at bath time as it is not real paint. 
• treats for the class: if you would like to send in treats for the class please be sure to send one for all of the children so no child feels left out.  There are 16 children in the class.  Please note there is NO OBLIGATION to send in candy or a treat.
