Jr. K News - Oct 29

We had a great time at the pumpkin patch.  A big Thank You goes out to First United Methodist Church for hosting it again this year.   It was a little cold but the rain held out so we could enjoy the many activities that were planned.

A few reminders for this coming week:

Wednesday Oct 31 is All Hallows Eve.  It is also a Chapel day.  Students should come dressed for Chapel.  (NO costumes)

Thursday is our 50th day of school and our class will be celerating the 1950's so come dressed in your best poodle skirt, or rolled-up blue jeans and white t-shirts.  We will have many fun 50's activities including a Sock Hop and lunch at the diner topping it all off with an ice cream float.

Friday is the park workday and parents are invited to come and help out.  We will have a picnic lunch at the park.

Hello there,

We had a good but busy week.  I forgot to thank all the parents that came to Conferences last week and this.  They all went very well.  It is good to here what is going on at home as well as here at school.

The field trip to see the "Three Little Pigs" was a big hit.  The students loved it and the students from UMHB did a great job.  Today was Canterbury Faire and again the children really enjoyed all of the activities.  Make sure you look at the school's Face Book page for pictures.

New sight words for the unit are see, we, a, to

In Science we are going to be looking at the Life Cycle of a Pumpkin and on Friday is our Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch.  We will walk over to the First United Methodist Church.  It is also an early release day.

See you all next week.
