I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Well....we still have Sunday...it's not over yet. I'm headed to Virginia to watch the Redskins with Family. Hopefully we end our horrible losing streak today. I will be at work tomorrow. I'm finally getting over with cold/flu.
A couple notes about this week:
-We will visit the center room on Monday and Wednesday
-Tuesday, the Independent Fire Hose. Station will visit Pre-K and Kindergarten - this is such a wonderful experience for the kiddos. They talk about fire safety and get to explore their equipment....pictures to come!
-We will have a tornado drill on Wednesday. We will practice what this looks like tomorrow. Please discuss with your student why do these drills. The tornado drill can be little frightening the first time. We kneel in the hallway and cover our heads with our hands. I will definitely take the time to model and practice this with the kids.
-Friday! The best day of the year!!! FALL HARVEST PARTY! last week in their take-home folder I sent a note home explaining what that day will look like. If you are able, we are asking for a small donation to purchase snacks for the students. If you would like to volunteer, please indicate on that form. We would love to have help that day. Students are encouraged to dress as their favorite book character. If you have the book to match the costume, please send it to school as well. Last year the K team were Disney characters. We are sure to blow this years theme out of the water!!! We won't tell the kiddos about our costume until they see us on Friday morning....this is why this day is so fun! We like dressing up as much as the kids. If you do not feel comfortable sending your student to school in costume, that is ok. Please do not feel obligated to purchase a costume for this day.
-Friday Night! You received a note about our school party that evening. We encourage you to attend (in costume). It is a very fun evening. The K team will be at the festival painting faces. Please visit our table!
-Reading Groups are in full swing. I'm so amazed at their ability to transition through the room; working independently and in small groups. Please remember to send your student's reading baggie to school each day. We use it in our small guided reading group. I hope you're practicing the reading books and activities inside their baggie....I'm seeing so many colored pumpkins and this makes me very happy! Keep up the good work : )
If you have any questions, please let me know!
