Halloween Party

 Just in case you did not get the hard copy, here is a copy of the Halloween party letter.

We will have our Halloween party on Thursday, the 31^st at 12:45. Students will wear costumes to school on Halloween. We will have games time that runs until 1:30. From 1:30 until the parade we will eat up goodies. 

I need parents to volunteer to run a game during the games time. These brave volunteers will choose a Halloween themed game, and prizes to go along with it. Students will move in small groups from game to game.  You may want to have enough prizes for each spooktacular student.

We also need yummy treats. I love the Halloween themed treats. There are literally thousands on Pinterest, and Disney Family has a great deal of ideas too. We have 16 students, and one teacher ;) in our class.  The following are kid’s requests…

·         Chocolate

·         Cookies

·         Cupcakes

·         Pizza

·         Bacon

·         Caldron of Halloween Punch

·         Fruit Tray

·         Ghost Peeps

·         Eggnog

·         shrimp

·         Halloween Ice Cream

We are happy to have any treats you would like to bring. J

Please let me know, on this form if you want to run a game at our party, or if you prefer to bring a treat.

Pumpkin Eyes

Pumpkin eyes are being sold for 25 cents to place on our class pumpkin. Why eyes? The more eyes our pumpkin has, the better chance we have of winning a pizza party! It is a big competition between each class to get the most eyes on their pumpkin. All proceeds go to the 8th grade trip to Washington, D.C. :) Lets see if we can win it!

Blessing of The Pets

Blessing of the pets has been moved to tomorrow. Please remember that live pets may not come to class. :) Stuffed pets may come to class, or pictures of pets to be blessed by Father Dean. All living pets and parents will meet us in the lot at 2:00.
Students may be dismissed with parents after the blessing, but, unfortunately not from the lot. All students must go back into the school to be accounted for, prior to being signed out in the office by a parent.   We are super safety, I know, but for good 400 good reasons. :) It gets a little hectic, and we want to ensure everyone's safety.
Again, do not forget that you can bring a stuffed animal, or picture of your pet, if your pet is unable to make it. :)

Common Core Standards for Teacher

http://wveis.k12.wv.us/Teach21/public/ng_cso/NG_CSO.cfm?tsele1=3&tsele2=53

I just wanted to make the core standards easy to access. This works out for you too, because you can view what I will be teaching throughout this school year. Science is still in the works.
