It's Time for Some Halloween Fun!


October 18th, 2011.
 
Dear Parents:

Halloween is fast approaching and plans are coming together for our classroom celebration. We will work on Halloween activities all day on Monday, October 31st ! In the morning, students will be working on a variety of language and math Halloween activities and I have organized a Halloween party with games in the afternoon. The students will be participating in station games I have created and if there are any parents who would be interested in volunteering to help out that day I would really appreciate any “extra hands”. I will put this on the Blog and Nerissa will email parents as well. I will need 5-6 parents to help out with the afternoon events.

I am encouraging everyone to dress in costume. Students who are interested in bringing snacks are requested to think of nutritious alternatives (use your imagination together and give it a “creepy” name but DO NOT tell anyone!! Celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins – could be ants on a log). Again, it’s a secret!! Please write a note in your child’s agenda if you are able to provide the snack and give me the “creepy” name you and your child have chosen for it. Remember, have fun with this.

"Pirateering" and Adventure





We've talked like pirates, acted like pirates, dressed like pirates, ransomed treasure for pirate "booty" and created treasure maps. All for the sake of adventure, m'hearty's!!
