Happy Halloween

With Halloween, a PD Day, and Pajama Day, last week was stocked full of fun.

Halloween 

On Halloween both of our classes enjoyed participating in a Halloween parade.  We then rotated the students through stations of pumpkin carving, a Halloween scavenger hunt, and a witches brew story on the light table.  The students had fun comparing costumes, eating party food, and enjoying some Halloween center time to end their day.

Please note, I am not allowed to post pictures of your child if you have not filled out your FOIP form, or if you did not give consent on your form.  If you are wondering about the status of your child's FOIP form please feel free to contact myself or else Maureen and Cheryl in the office.  If you recently filled out your child's FOIP form I still have to wait for the green light from the office to start posting.  Please bear with me while I wait for an updated list!

Thank You

A huge thank you goes out to Erin Spurgeon, Katryn Mawson-Dalmer, Laura Culham, and Melanie Clark for helping to carve pumpkins with us on Halloween.  We could not have done it without you!  Thanks also to the other parents who offered to help out, there will be more opportunities to volunteer coming up.  I would also like to thank the families who sent snacks for our parties - the children enjoyed their party food!

Little Ghost 

This week we strengthened our oral language skills by reciting this fun little Halloween poem.  The students loved this poem and continuously asked to do it again and again!  I would encourage you to do it at home as well, the students especially love being "scared" at the end of the poem!

Little Ghost 

I saw a little ghost (make ghost eyes)

He saw me too (point at self)

I waved at hime (wave to each other)

But he said "BOO!" (scare each other)

Pajama Day

We had fun on Pajama Day.  The students enjoyed wearing their pajamas to school and bringing their favourite stuffed animal.  We will be having ANOTHER pajama day on Monday, November 6th.  Students are invited to wear their pajamas to school and bring a stuffed bear or animal of their choice.  Stay tuned for pajama day pictures coming next week!

Christmas Cards

The Christmas Card orders are due November 10th.  

To see a preview of your child's card you can click here.  

(If your child's card is not yet posted, it is because they are still finishing the final details.  They will all be posted by early next week).  Don't mind the toys I had to use to hold the cards shut for the pictures!

A Special Visitor

We were lucky enough to have a special visitor on October 23rd.  Thank you to Aliyah's Grandma for coming to read a pumpkin story to our afternoon class.  I am more than happy to welcome special guests into our room who are interested in reading to our classes.  If you or someone you know would like to come read with your child's class please contact me so we can arrange a time!
