There were a few reminders today, and it's lovely to know that so many of you are checking the blog that your children are actually asking me to post my reminders on here!
1) Pizza forms are due TOMORROW. If your child was away Friday, they got their form today. If there is ever a time when you cannot find your pizza form, feel free to write the order on another piece of paper. Slices are $2.00, and juice is $0.50.
2) I mentioned in a previous post that we will be doing a clothing sort activity to talk about how we adapt to weather changes. This activity will take place WEDNESDAY. If possible, please send in a piece of clothing that is season-specific (e.g., mittens, raincoat, shorts, sweater). As always, please make sure it is labelled. They will come home again the same day.
3) This week is the food drive. We are trying to fill up two large boxes in area 24! The families are most in need of baby food, canned vegetables and pasta.
Finally, next Wednesday is Halloween. It's still a bit early, but in case you are thinking about what to get for school, here is the plan: We will have a short "party" after lunch. This will consist of Halloween themed art activities, music and stories. Students are welcome to bring a costume that they can change into at lunch. There is no need to send food or candy, but if you would like to send something, there are 23 students in our class. Please make sure that food/candy is store-bought (not home-made) and is clearly labelled as peanut-free. A good alternative to candy is to get Halloween themed pencils or erasers from the dollar store. They're peanut and sugar-free, and are useful in our classroom! Again, no need to send anything at all, I will give a small treat to each student at the end of the day.
