As we talk about being thankful this week, I need to start off with saying how thankful I am for the 19 wonderful kids I get to spend time with each day. They are the reason I do what I do. Thank you for sharing them with  me!This week we get to spend a lot of time talking about the things we are thankful for... I'm really excited to hear what the kids have to say.

We also have Paragon Night this week. We will be presenting our Africa unit Thursday at 5:35 in the classroom. The kids will be making kangas this week to wear for paragon night.

Please remind your child to bring their jackets to school. Recess has gotten a bit chilly!

Happy Fall and season of Thanksgiving. The time seems to be flying by so quickly! We have a fun week planned. We will be creating a diorama of the African Savanna and talking about some of our favorite African animals. On Wednesday, I will be talking to all the kinders about Kenya. I spent several years in Kenya (1st - 4th grade) when I was about their age. I will be bringing in some fun things for them to look at and fun pictures for them to see.

I hope all of you had a chance to sit down and read with your child. Please let me know if you have any questions about their new reading folders that came home on Friday. They can fill out their reading time on the reading log as well... double whammy!

What a "fun"tastic fall we have had so far! We have had so many fun activities and events and have learned so much! We have really grown into a classroom family.

I am really excited to announce that we have hired a Literacy Assistant to help in the kinder classrooms. Ms. McKenzie Guyer will be helping work with the kids during the mornings during our literacy block. She will help work with different groups of kids throughout the week. Yay!

As a reminder, it is getting chilly outside during recess. Please make sure your child has a sweater or sweatshirt in their backpack to use as needed. Also, we have had many kids with out water bottles lately... please help remind them to grab their water bottle.

First of all, thank you for coming to conferences this past week. I really love conferences and getting to know you a little bit better. We have a fantastic class and fun group of kids! 

We have lots of exciting things planned for the week. We have Paragon Night on Tuesday (5:35 in the classroom), we are starting our pumpkin unit and science experiment, and we have a field trip on Friday... whew!

On paragon night, the kids can wear what ever they want. They each have a toga that they will wear over their regular clothes.

Please make sure you have the permission slip and fee paid as soon as possible. I would like to have a final count by Wednesday. We have enough drivers, THANK YOU! Please let me know if you have any questions.

I love Fall!! I love the changing leaves, the changing weather, and the flavors of Fall. We had a great week last week talking about how the seasons change.

This week we will have parent teacher conferences. I am really excited to meet with each of you and getting to know you a little bit better. If you still need to schedule a time, there are a few slots left on Friday. Just click on the Conferences tab at the top of the page to schedule your time.

Our field trip to the pumpkin patch is quickly approaching. I will have extra permission slips available at conferences if you still need to turn that in. (The fee will be due the day before the field trip.) As with all our field trips, if you drive just your child, you may leave right after the field trip and not have to come back to the school. You also do not need to complete the driver form for just your child. The kids may also wear what ever they want, dressing for the weather, on that day. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the field trip process.
