My classes will wear their costumes TO SCHOOL. This rule is different for the other students in the school, so please do not be confused!

AM: Parents are invited to arrive at 10:15 to begin setting up. We will be walking around the school in our Halloween Parade from 10:15-10:30. When we return, the festivities will begin. Our party will be from 10:30-11:30. If you plan to attend, you may sign your child out at 11:30 and dismiss. If your child remains at school, I will assume they will follow their normal dismissal routine.

PM: Parents are invited to arrive at 1:00 to begin setting up. The entire school will be participating in a school wide Halloween Parade from 1:30-1:45. When we return, the festivities will begin. Our party will be from 1:45-2:45. If you plan to attend, you may sign your child out at 2:45 and dismiss. If your child remains at school, I will assume they will follow their normal dismissal routine.

This is Week 8 of our sight words.  We will have 11 weeks and then we will start Rotation 2.  This will either be a review of the 1st 33 sight words, or I will include a 2nd list.  More details to come.

We will begin Rotation 2 through the Letter of the Day.  This round we will review the handwriting and focus on the SOUND that each letter makes.  We are encouraging sound spelling this quarter!
