It's time to get our Halloween on! This week we will be using a Halloween theme to do things like predict, estimate, and count the number of seeds in our class pumpkin. We will look at some literature (poem, picture book, etc.) related to Halloween. From a social standpoint, we will talk about how not everyone celebrates Halloween and touch on the other celebrations that are also going on at this time of year (including Diwali). We will also talk about some Halloween safety tips.
This is the final week for We Scare Hunger. Non-perishable food donations are still being accepted and are very much appreciated.
Photo retakes are tomorrow (Monday).
Take Me Outside Day is also tomorrow. We will be doing a community walk during period 6. Don't forget your walking shoes!
Indoor shoes are a must. Now that the weather is changing, it's imperative that the kiddos have indoor shoes they can keep at school to change into while inside. This becomes a safety concern because wet boots should not be worn in the classroom, and the kiddos can't participate in physical education class while wearing boots.
On Thursday we will have our first visit from Baby Josiah, our Roots of Empathy baby. If you haven't already, please return the permission form allowing us to photograph your child for the Roots of Empathy program.
