The Halloween Parade and Fall Festival will take place this Wednesday, October 31. Fall Festival will follow after the parade and we are asking that parents sign out their child in the classroom for Fall Festival. I will post the sign-out sheet on the classroom door.
The Book Fair will take place the week of November 5 in the Student Center. We will be previewing books at the beginning of next week and if you wish your child to purchase some books, please send you child will some money in a sealed envelope, or visit the fair with your child during our recess time (1:30-2:00) or at dismissal time.
The second graders are excited! This year the four classes are combining their talents for Poetry in the Park, which will take place on Thursday, November 8th at 8:30am. Please plan on coming to this annual event. The students sound fantastic and you are in for a treat. Boys will dress in black, to represent the spider, and the girls will dress in fun, brightly colored clothing, to represent the fly.
The children are also working hard to get ready for our Second Grade Program. Each child is responsible for making the flag of the country he/she has been assigned. This will be due on Thursday, November 1, along with a wire coat hanger. We also need brown paper grocery bags, clear/white gallon milk water bottles (no yellow) for creating the scenery and stuffed jungle type animals labeled with student names (animals can be brought in the week of the show). You should have received a note about this today.
We will also need volunteers to help the students paint their t-shirts on Monday, Nov. 5 and Tuesday Nov. 6, set up the stage the week of the show, and organize a snack for us to enjoy after the show. Please email me or Gina White if you are interested in helping us out.
Rosetta Lee will be presenting at 6:30 on November 8. SPA is sponsoring this event. Ms. Lee will be talking about identity formation.
School will be closed November 9th. It is a Professional Development Day.
I was so proud of of all those students who brought in a Current Event to share last week on our Open Week of sharing. Since this week is short, we will not begin Current Events again until the week of November 5. If your child has a news article that they would like to share this week, please have them practice at home and then bring this to school to share. Your child has a new Current Events calendar in their Take Home Folder, so please take a look so your child can be prepared to present.
Each Friday morning the students look forward to a parent reading to them. Thanks to all who signed up to read to us.
I wish you a wonderful week ahead.
Ms. O'Mullane
