Dear Parents and Families,

Since today was an Ice Day, I am sending this week’s spelling list to you on Dojo and on the class blog. I will send home a printed copy this week. Please practice these words with your child tonight. These words have been on our word wall and the kids are very familiar with them. We will practice them repeatedly Thursday and Friday. For this first spelling test, due to this crazy week we’ve had, I will test the kids first thing Monday morning. I will send next week’s list home on Mondayand the test will be on Friday. Typically, the list will go home on Friday and the test will be the following Friday.

Spelling words:
1. the
2. see
3. like
4. at
5. bat
6. cat
7. fat

I hope you enjoyed your day off!
Miss Zehr

Dear Parents and Families,

This Wednesday is Halloween. The kids will be allowed to wear costumes that day as long as there are NO REAL or PLASTIC WEAPONS, NO MAKEUP that covers their face, and No masks can be worn until the parade at 2:00.

In my room, kids can bring a candy treat to pass out (each treat must be individually wrapped). If you would like to send in a snack for the kids to eat after the parade, we have 16 kids. Parents can watch the parade, it will be on the track in the rear of the school (4th and 5th grade playground). The parade starts at 2. Usually lower elementary walks the track and upper elementary students watch, then they switch and lower ele will sit and the upper ele will watch. After the parade we will go back to our room and enjoy a mini treat party.

Please let me know if you would like to send in a snack for after the parade so I can plan accordingly. If you have any questions that I have not answered, please feel free to message me.

Also, if you do not want your child to participate in any of the activities, please let me know.

Thank you in advance!

Miss Zehr

We will be taking a field trip to Debuck’s Cider Mill on October 16, 2018. Please make sure to fill out the permission slip and turn it in by October 10, 2018. The price per student is $12.00. If you would like to attend as a chaperone, the price per chaperone is also $12.00. Please turn in the field trip money along with the permission slip. If you would like to chaperone, please make sure you have a background check on file with the district. You need to come into the school’s main office to do your background check. This process takes up to 3 weeks. Parents can NOT attend field trips without a background check on file. If you need a copy of the permission slip for the field trip, click on the link below. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!
