Thank you!

Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to thank you all for your generous contributions to our classroom feast last Wednesday. The children and I all had a wonderful and memorable day. I am so glad so many of you could attend. A special thank you to everyone that helped set up. It looked beautiful. I trust that everyone had a great holiday with family and friends and am excited to hear all about it from the kiddos tomorrow. Just a few short weeks until our Holiday Program and Winter Break. :)

See you all tomorrow!

Weeks 8-11

Oh my how my poor blog has suffered and the craziness of the holiday season has only just begun. We have had a wonderful past few weeks. The children LOVED studying the human body and seem to have really absorbed a great deal of information. We also enjoyed getting ready for our Harvest Festival and Halloween. The festival was a huge success! It was so nice seeing so many of you there. Our Halloween party was absolutely amazing too! Costumes, games, food, art projects, tattoos, apple bobbing and treats! We all had a blast!

I am so sorry it has taken me so long to catch up on my blog. I will do my best to stay current despite the craziness. Onto November we go... We have already begun our study of our Planet Earth and Being Thankful. Our focus will be on Landforms and Physical Geography.

Our next big shindig will be our annual Thanksgiving Family Feast. It will take place on Wednesday, November 21st at 10am. Everyone is welcome as long as you RSVP on my classroom door so I know how many chairs and tables I need. I am so thankful that our sign up sheet is all filled up. We should have plenty of food for all. If you didn't get a chance to sign up and you would like to bring something I still need festive decor, plates, napkins, cups and utensils. I also need HELP that morning decorating and setting up food. Please let me know if you can come at 9am to help. :)

Also don't forget we are closed this Monday, November 12th in observation of Labor Day.

Lastly, I have exciting and sad news. Our beloved class guinea pig passed away this week. We had Daisy for over 5 years. She lived a good life. RIP.
So we have gotten a new baby guinea pig! Her name is Pipsqueak! The children love her :)

Thank you for reading! Have a great long weekend!

Cheers,
Ms. J
