HAPPY BIRTHDAY          Avery          October 20     and     Lawrence          October 25

THANK YOU
It was my birthday on Thursday (Oct 15).  Thank you to a couple of volunteer moms (Finley's and Avery's) for making my birthday special.  We shared some delicious cupcakes and I received a bouquet of beautiful pink roses.  These two mom's have been coming in one day each week and volunteering in our classroom.  They have been a LOT of help to me and I know the children really enjoy their visits.  Thank you so much!

HALLOWEEN PARTY
We will be having a Halloween "Pumpkin Party" on Friday, October 30.  The children will be able to dress up for the afternoon on that day.  Please do not send your child in a scary, bloody, gory, weapons, etc... costume.  This is a Christian school and we have many young children in the building.  They do not have to dress up if they do not wish to or I do have a box full of hats and costumes that they may borrow at school.  Please send the costume in a plastic bag that morning and they can change after lunch recess.

SNACK PARENTS - We have 5 holiday parties at school during the year.  I usually divide the parent list up between the party days and assign parents to one of the holiday parties to bring snacks.  If your day does not work out for you, you can trade with another family or if you do not wish to bring snacks, please let me know.  This system seems to work out fairly for everyone.
HALLOWEEN - Snacks - Ana, Avery, Christian, Emerson
CHRISTMAS - Snacks - Evan, Finley, Hayden, Jake
VALENTINES - Snacks - Lawrence, Mason, Nik, Nyah
EASTER - Snacks - Riel, Sacha, Stone, Xander
END OF THE YEAR - Free for anyone who would like to bring snacks
I will provide the juice for the parties.  Please remember that the snacks need to contain NO NUTS.

PRAIRIE EXOTICS
We are having some special guests next week on Tuesday afternoon.  They are coming from "Prairie Exotics".  We'll let you know how the visit went.

PUMPKIN FACES
The children mixed yellow and red paint to make orange and then took a print of their designs.  We used these textured paintings to make pumpkin faces.  See if you can guess who is who.  They are hanging on our hallway bulletin board.
