Hello Parents!

Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend. Canterbury Faire was a lot of fun and I enjoyed seeing so many of you there! Thank you for all the help with the booth and the support for the school. It is greatly appreciated. We have many fun things in store for this week. Our theme this week is Halloween. We will talk all about Halloween, jack-o-lanterns, trick or treating and being safe while trick or treating, and many other things. The letter of the week is Jj and we will start a new Happily Ever After story called  "The Nightingale."  Our field trip to the Pumpkin Patch is on Wednesday, so I will need permission slips by Tuesday. Also, our Halloween party is on Friday. I will need $3-5 from each child for the pizza and a bag of candy for the treat bags. Thank you all so much for all of your help. Have a wonderful day!

Pumpkin Patch

We will go to the Pumpkin Patch from 9-9:30 on the 27th.

Hello everyone!

Just a few reminders:

            - Canterbury Faire is this Saturday! If you will be in town, I could really use vonlunteers for our booth. There is a sign-up sheet outside the classroom, so please sign up!

             -  I need $3 from each child for the pizza for our Halloween Party. I will order 4 pizzas and you are more than welcome to come to the party and spend time with your child.  :)  The party will start at 11. Also, we will decorate the room while they are in music so if you would like to help with that please feel free. We will start with that at 10:30 while the children are in music.

             -  We will have treat bags for the kids at our Halloween Party. I would like for each child to bring a bag of candy by Friday (the day of the party) to contribute to the treats that will go in the treat bag.  :)  I do not have any allergies in the classroom, so any candy is welcome.

              -  Shields will need to be done very soon! We will hang them up during Canterbury Faire.

             -  There eill be a bake sale during Canterbury Faire. There is a sign-up sheet outside of the classroom for those of you that want to bake something.

              -  Pumpkin Patch trip is October 27th! We will walk over to the First United Methodist Church and there will be many fun activities planned. The children are allowed to wear jeans and their school shirts that day (school t-shirts). I will let you know what time when I find out. Parents are welcome to join us.  :)

Thank you to all of you! You are all such wonderful parents and I am so excited about all of our fun activities we have going on this year!

Royal Volunteers Needed for Canterbury Faire

BAKE SALE
We are asking for everyone to donate one large item (such as a cake, pie, or bread) and one batch of small items individually wrapped (such as cookies, brownies, rice krispy treats).
• Label everything with tags or printed labels from your computer, be sure to mention if the item contains nuts. Don’t worry about pricing, we will handle that.
• Presentation is everything! Large items sell much faster if they look great. Check the dollar store for Fall or Halloween plates to display your creation.
• Individual items don’t need to be wrapped as fancy, most of these will be sold and eaten at lunchtime. These will be priced at 50 cents each, so package accordingly (one brownie per bag, two cookies per bag, etc.).
• Delivery times: Friday, October 22 before 4pm at the front of the school, or Saturday October 23 before 10am at our table by the Parish Hall.

CLASS BOOTHS
Sign up for a time to help at your classroom booth. Each class has a booth and parents need to sign up for 30 minute time slots. If you are unable to go into your child's class and sign up, send your teacher an email and let her know when you can help.

RAFFLE
Ready for a fall getaway? The Canterbury Faire committee is so excited to announce a raffle for a weekend getaway to Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine. It is a kid's dream and fun for parents, too! Tickets for the raffle are available in the office. Tickets are $10 per ticket or 3 tickets for $20.
A special thank you to our generous raffle sponsor Sherri and Graves Erskine, Geico Local Office serving the Killeen/Temple area.

Questions? Don't know what you can do to help? Contact Holly Steele, Canterbury Faire Chairperson. Thanks everyone for supporting this Parents Plus fundraiser!!

Family Crests

Hello again! Just a reminder that the Family Shields are due in a couple of weeks. Canterbury Faire is on October 23rd. Make the shields as decorative as possible with your family crest. If you have a shield from last year then please bring that.   :)   Thank you and if you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Fall has arrived!

Hello everyone! What a beautiful week it has been so far.   :)  We are having a wonderful week in Jr. Kindergarten. We are learning all about the Fall season and the changes that take place during this time. We are also learning about patterns in our Saxon Math cirriculum, we have started a new book in our Happily Ever After unit (The Elves and the Shoemaker), are learning to count from 1-100, and many other things. We are going to start learning our high frequency words within the next week. When we do this I will send you a list of the words so that you can go over them with your child at home.

Please bring box tops to class by Friday. We really want to win that pizza party!  :) We will also have a sign up sheet within the next couple of weeks for our Haloween party. I know it is early, but I wanted to give you all a heads up. If you have any suggestions on what food we should include, let me know. We will be ordering pizza for the party.

Thank you all for being such wonderful parents! It is going to be a wonderful year.
