As we begin to have cold weather, just a reminder to dress your child for the weather. We WILL go out for 3 recesses each day unless it is raining or the temperature drops below zero. If your child has lost a coat, there is quite a collection of unclaimed coats in the gym, hanging below the stage. If they are not claimed by the end of the month, they go to the rescue mission.

Today we received a few "disguised" pumpkins and are they ever CUTE! They will be displayed in the hall until Friday, when I will send them home. If your child has an especially heavy pumpkin, you might want to help them carry it home on Friday or make arrangements to pick it up another time. We read the book Ten Black Dots by Donald Crews. Students had to cut out 10 black dots to create a picture similar to what the author did. After reading Dinner at Panda Palace, students imagined that they had their own restaurant and drew foods that they might serve and labeled the pictures. We played musical chairs in the afternoon and I've gotta say that this group was very well behaved throughout the game. Have a great evening.
