October 16th

Dear Families,

I hope you all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend.  I was so thankful that we got some sunshine so we could spend some time outside in the beautiful fall weather!  

Halloween is soon approaching so we have been thinking about how we can have holdiay celebrations in the classroom this year while still following the health and safety guidelines. We decided the safest way would be to assign each of you one holiday and for you to bring pre-packaged individual items (enough for the whole class 17 in total).   To assign your item/party,  I just went down the class list and gave each family a number. 

Halloween  - PLEASE SEND IN BY WEDNESDAY, OCT. 28TH

Costumes can be worn to school on Friday, Oct. 30th but should be easy to take off and on as they still will be going outside at recess and lunch and I wouldn't want their costumes to get ruined.  

1) Avin - Chips 2) Seth - Fruit Snacks/Rice Krispy Squares (store purchased only)/Bear Paws etc

3) Alexa - Treats (Chocolate or candy) 4)  Evan - Juice Boxes

Christmas 

1) Niki- Chips 2) Tyson - Fruit Snacks/Rice Krispy Squares (store purchased only)/Bear Paws etc

3) Ryan - Treats (Chocolate or candy) 4) Landon - Juice Boxes

Valentines

1) Neena - Chips 2) Brody - Fruit Snacks/Rice Krispy Squares (store purchased only)/Bear Paws etc

3) Natalie - Treats (Chocolate or candy) 4) Sukhraj - Juice Boxes

Year End

1) Chase - Chips 2) Caleb - Rice Krispy Squares (store purchased only)/Bear Paws etc

3) Ryder - Treats (Chocolate or candy) 4) Tatum - Juice Boxes 5) L.J. - Fruit Snacks

I will be sending a reminder prior to each of the holidays plus a date for you to send them to the school so that I can purchase whatever hasn't come in to ensure everyone has the treats.   Thank you so much for your support with this!   I'll also put a poster of this Celebraton Snacks in the classroom window!

Other Information and Requests...

If anyone would be willing to make up a big batch of Play Dough for the class that would be really appreciated.  Please email me if you are able to help out - thanks in advance.  

We only have a few sets of headphones (or ear buds) in so far so if you please send them in asap.  We use these for both Reader's Workshop and at times math stations.   

For additional home reading practice I have put the link for Raz Kids on the blog, please follow this and your child's password is their name with a capital letter.  Then go to Book Room, Leveled Books and then will have a variety of book choices and options (the children should know how to do this as they do it during Reader's Workshop).

Reminder that next Friday, Oct. 23 is a Provincial Pro-D Day so there is no school for students.  

Have a great weekend!
