Week of October 29, 2018

Dear Families,
Today we worked in the MakerSpace with pumpkins.  We estimated and counted seeds in a pumpkin. Each student shared what they learned on their Seesaw account.  Here is the information to login to Seesaw, if you haven’t done so already.

I know your first grader can't wait to show off their costume!  It will certainly be a day filled with excitement! On Wednesday, students should wear their costumes to school.  Please make sure your child can use the restroom on their own with their costume. The Costume Parade starts at 10:00 on the Primary Playground.  Our class party will begin about 10:50 (following the parade and recess, set up is at 10:30). Parents are welcome to stay for the party.
Please read our school newsletter for information about Halloween costumes, https://www.smore.com/8dmgp
Thank you to our parent helpers this week!
Our class would appreciate donations of baby wipes.

I hope you have a great weekend.
