Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins!

This week we took our second math test. The children are really starting to understand test taking procedures. Each child gets their own "office" during test time, which they think is pretty neat. We are now moving to Chapter 3 in math which is all about patterns. During calendar, the children have already learned about AB patterns and AABB patterns, so most of the concepts will already be very familiar to the children.

Our child with the peanut allergy has moved and so we are lifting our "Peanut Free Zone", unless another child moves in with a peanut allergy.

In tomorrow's homework folder I am sending out our class list of what is needed for our Halloween Party on Friday, October 30th. We will have our party from 11:50-1:10. I am looking for volunteers to help out with activities during this time period. Let me know A.S.A.P. if you are able to help out. Not all children were included on the list of things to supply. If your child was not on the list, they will be on a future list.

The weather is starting to get more and more unpredictable. Please, please, please make sure your child is dressed for the weather. We stay inside if it is raining or pouring, but if it is barely sprinkling, the children may be going outside for recess. It is hard to be cooped up all day in the classroom for the children. Also, when the weather gets colder, your child may be sent to sit in the office if they are not dressed for the weather. This is not because they are in trouble, but because we cannot have children outside in the cold with no coat.

I am looking forward to our first field trip tomorrow. I have been talking with the children all week about dressing for the weather tomorrow. I hear it may be raining! I know tomorrow is red and black day for spirit week, but dressing for rain is probably more important since we don't want cold, wet kids in the afternoon.

See many of you tomorrow!
