Halloween


I hope everyone is gearing up for a great Halloween! I just wanted to share with you that my puppy will be participating. The kids loved seeing my dog, Stanley, in his costume for this year!

Fall Centers and Fall Carnival








We had such a great day! Our parade of costumes went great! After that, we went back to the classroom to do Fall Centers. We ate cookies, painted, colored and made picture frames!
A huge thank you to all the parents/grandparents who helped with the "Needle In The Haystack" booth at the carnival. I couldn't have done it without you!

Fall Centers

Would any of my parents be willing to donate some plain sugar cookies for decorating on Thursday, October 23rd? I have gotten everything for the centers except the cookies. We would just need 25 or so cookies!
I appreciate it!

Science Workshop





Mrs. Harbour visited our class on Tuesday to teach a lesson in Science Workshop. She had the children use their 5 senses to explore pumpkins. She even cut open a pumpkin in our classroom for the children to explore and observe!!
Thanks Mrs. Harbour

Harry The Dirty Dog






We had a great time on our field trip to the Florida Theater to see Harry The Dirty Dog! We started at the Kids Kampus downtown for playing and lunch and then made our way to the theater. We really enjoyed the show! I think all the kids were tired out when we got back!

HOMEWORK

Please make sure you are helping your child with their homework nightly and sending it back into class on Fridays in their orange homework folders. We are having problems with it floating around in their back packs or being in their planners. It really needs to be in the orange folders to help Mrs. Cordoza and myself stay organized.

Literary Parade

On Thursday, October 23rd, the children will be able to dress up as a favorite character from one of their books! Send them to school in their costume, with the book of the character they are dressed up as. Please make sure the costume is school appropriate!

We are also asking for donations of bags of candy for the teachers to hand out the evening of the Fall Carnival. If you could, please send one in the classroom this week!
