Hi Parents,
The month of October has gone by rather quickly~I can't believe we are at the end of the 1st quarter and next week is already November!
Our last week of October:
Monday: Congratulations Andrew on being our star-of-the-week! Hope Baby Duck enjoys her visit at your home-I'm sure she will.
Red Ribbon Week: A letter went home last week explaining the events. This week is a week where being "drug free " is discussed. I make this topic easy for the students to grasp. I explain that only our parents and the doctor can give us medicine, that we should not touch medicine that we see our parents/grandparents take, and if Mom/Dad give us a vitamin we should only have what is given to us. That's about all I really discuss at this age.
Please have your child wear their red ribbon everyday this week.
Tuesday: Dd printing paper assigned for homework.
* " Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" will be on TV tonight~channel 7 @ 7:00.
Wednesday: Our dozen objects in an egg carton activity is to be brought in for class discussion.
Thursday: WEAR RED DAY for red ribbon week. Students may wear jeans and something red.
Class poem paper assigned for homework.
We will be carving a pumpkin!
Friday: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Costumes are to be worn to school.
Parade outside school @ 8:30.
Class party from 10:30-11:30-feel free to come*
Gym-Have your child wear/ bring their gym shoes.
*If you plan on attending the class Halloween party, please explain to your child that when the party is over, you must go home and he/she has to stay at school. Quite often over the years, I have had a few students suddenly develop a "stomach ache" when their mom has to leave and want to go home.This always leads to drama and tears. So...please remind your child~thank you for your cooperation.
Keep on reviewing the word list I sent home, a new one will be coming home next week when we begin letter book Ss.
2nd quarter begins next week so I will be giving all the students one of their folders from the ones that were brought in on the first day of school. Many of the current folders have seen better days.
Don't forget to turn your clocks back this Saturday-an extra hour of sleep, but unfortunately it will begin getting dark @ 5:00-how sad!
Have a Happy Halloween and hope to see many of you on Friday.
Boo!
Mrs. Revis
