Hi Everyone,

I hope you all enjoy the long weekend (Professional Development Day tomorrow).  We have been so fortunate to have such amazing weather this October.  I hope you all have the chance to get outside.

Thank you for parents who have signed up for a class party this year.  I know for some of you it is difficult to get to the school to do this so I have now assigned everyone a day if you were unable to get here.  I will send a reminder about the party and what you are bringing before each event.  We do have a nut allergy in our class.  It is only if the nuts are consumed so we do not have to keep our class peanut free from a day to day basis but I will ask that you send peanut free treats for the party so that everyone can enjoy them.  Thank you!

A big thank you in advance for these children and their parents, who will be providing snacks for the Halloween party next Friday:  Young Hoon (fruit plate), Tony (veggie plate),  Myra (sweet treat), Max (popcorn or chips) and Stephanie (cheese and crackers or small sandwiches).  Please note that these will be enjoyed later in the afternoon so your child still needs to bring a lunch/recess snack that day. Also, I do recommend that you send a water bottle that can be refilled as needed for the party.  The children are allowed to wear costumes to school that day.  Please remember that they will still be going outside to play (unless it is absolutely pouring) so if you want them to slip on an extra layer before they go please send it in their backpack and write me a note.

I would also like to send out a big thank you to Vincent's mom for coming to help us with our ghosts on Wednesday.  It was a messy and sticky job (and the kids loved it)!  We will enjoy these in the classroom next week and then they will be sent home to enjoy for Halloween.

Thank you to everyone for continuing to send in planner/memory book money and sketch books for our art program.

****Please note that if your child may have a book bag with a single book in it (some groups will get their books on Monday as they haven't met with me during this rotation yet) in their backpack.  This is for them to practice over the weekend.  Please make sure it comes back on Monday so they can practice for their presentation.  Thank you!

Finally a big thank you to Division 6 parents for helping your children sell/return the Entertainment books.  Not only were we the first class to return the books/money, we also sold the most books.  Well done!  The PAC will be providing us with a pizza party.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Mrs. Roberts
