First week of November 11/2-11/6

Good morning parents and guardians,

What a busy fun week! Thank you to all the families that donated items towards our first Wacky Wednesday of the year and our Fall Classroom party. A bigger thank you to those that were able to help in the classroom. None of it could have been done without your help!
Amazing job the pumpkin book reports. I hope you have fun making them! This was our first family project of the year, and a first ever for the Kinder team assigning this project.
Next months family project is also really fun! More information will be going home on Monday (you will find some ideas below).

Also, WE WON THE ATTENDANCE SPIRIT STICK FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER!
Thank you for always bringing your children to school and on time!
As the winners, we get FREE DRESS every Friday for the month of November!
CONGRATS!

Scholastic book orders can always be placed online using the link to the right of the page and they will arrive quicker. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me or stop by the classroom.
Parents have been asking about volunteering in the classroom. REACH allows parents to work with students for 3 days, after this they need to be finger printed. More information can be found in the office. The following would be the best times for parents to come in and help (working with students in small groups).
If you would like to help on any day, please let me know at least one day in advance.
