Costume Parade

Tomorrow is our Halloween costume parade!  We will be starting around 8:15- once everyone has taken attendance and lunch count.  Grades K - 2 will parade around campus until about 8:40.  Here are just a few reminders regarding Halloween costumes:

• No masks- but students may wear makeup.
• Appropriate costumes.
• No weapons or other items to carry.
• Come to school wearing costumes- there will not be enough time to change into them when students arrive to school.
• Bring a change of clothes- after the parade, students are invited to change out of their costumes afterwards.  I'll set aside some time for everyone to do that if they wish.

When we return to the classroom, around 8:40, we'll start our activities!  You are welcome to stay and help.  Students will be sorting "bone candy", estimating about and measuring our class pumpkin, coloring a picture frame, and making spider cupcakes.  After lunch and recess, the students will have their cupcakes and juice while watching a movie.  It should definitely be a fun day!

On Friday, the students will begin a writing project about a pet turkey.  We'll read a story first, and then begin writing the writing organizer.  The craft will be posted on the wall when they are completed.  Next week, we will be starting to learn the correct format to write letters.  This will lead into having the chance to write letters to soldiers and veterans for Veteran's Day.  The students will be thanking them for their brave service for our country, and I'm hoping we will be able to send them to retired and currently serving military at Fort Huachuca when they are all finished.
