Happy Halloween!!!!

Happy Halloween to all!!! What a great time we had at the pumpkin patch!  I posted a few pictures. Sorry I can't post all of them, they are wonderful. I will put some on the bulletin board soon.  This week we will be working on our writing and all kinds of wonderful things! Please turn in your child's Art order as soon as possible. We are excited to offer their work to you.  Have a super week!!

 

Buckalew, here we come!!! October 24th @ 9a.m.

 

     One week to Buckalew!! We are super excited about our trip and of course, delighted that many of our families are coming with us. If you are coming, remember, you will need to drive behind us in your own cars. With the exception of one or two volunteers we may need on the buses, you are responsible for your own transportation. Your child will have to ride with us unless you sign a release paper. This is also true for leaving Buckalew with your child. All safety stuff!

      Harvest Fest is right around the corner! We are in need of lots of candy donations for that night. We will be running a duck pond booth. The little ones loved it last year. Anyone that can volunteer 15-30 minutes, any time at all, will be greatly appreciated! I will be there but would love some company. Our proceeds will go to our classroom I am told. That would be awesome. Maybe we can pay for some more field trips! Sign-ups will be on the hallway bulletin board.

      It is a new quarter!! Yay!! This is a quick, but fun one. We will be focusing on plant life, families, american symbols, lots of writing and reading as well as math. Congratulations to all of the award winners. Let me explain that students receiving all 4s receives the Principals award, 3's and 4's combined receives the honor roll award and perfect attendance-well, of course, the perfect attendance award. I expect to see a lot more awards in the next quarter. We have amazing students!!

     Have a super week!

Fall is here!!!!

 We can already feel it cooling down out on the playground! I love this time of year.
  Thanks for your patience with me last week as I tried to recover from the flu. The voice is almost completely restored. Your child may comment on how Mrs. Nye can't stop coughing!
   This week begins our Plant life cycle study. We will learn about different kinds of apples, Johnny Appleseed and the importance of keeping our earth clean so we can continue to grow food.
   October is jam packed full of things. Most important, to me is the field trip! Hope you are all planning to pack a lunch for your child and yourself if you are going. Look for the permission slip this week in your child's homework folder. If you are intending to go and take your child from Buckalew Farms, you will need to fill out an additional form that will allow you to do so.
   I hope you have a great week! Please spend some time in the cooler air with your child. We have been discussing leaves and the changes in the weather. They love to talk about anything nature!!! Especially, bugs!
