It will be a red day! Students need to wear their school uniform but may accessorize in RED! Ideas- red socks, red jewelry, red nails, red hats, red scarves..... Just no face or hair paint. Our Jane Yolen study is coming along great. Thanks for sending in your child’s picture. We will be putting the finishing touches on our Favorite Reading spot early next week and displaying our work in the hall. First Grade Parent Meeting: We would like to meet with you to discuss “All Things 1st Grade”! Some of the topics are the websites for Go Math, Reading A-Z and XtraMath. Other topics will include Saxon, Daily 5 and anything else pertaining to first grade. Halloween info: Children may wear their Halloween costumes to school on Friday October 28. We will have a costume parade in the gym around 8:15 in the morning. All parents are welcome to attend the parade. Our class Halloween party will be after lunch. Only pre-scheduled and approved volunteers may attend the class party. Please keep in mind that children will have to wear their Halloween costumes all day at school! They will have to be able to use the restroom on their own and make it through recess while wearing their costume. Plan accordingly! With all the “scary clown” reports in the news, we have decided there will be NO clown or gory costumes this year. Learning about the weather has been interesting and fun! We have been keeping a weather chart, filled and observing evaporation cups, made clouds, and today we are going to make it rain inside Room 111! Please ask your child to sing the Water Cycle song!!
