Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for meeting with me before fall break. I really enjoyed getting to talk with each and every one of you!
The next 9 weeks of school tends to really fly by. It is full of holidays and excitement. Our class will have a fall party on October 31st at 10:45. We would love for you to join us if you can! Here is a link to the wiki for more information http://lpmiller0521.wikispaces.com/Fall+Party. We will be having pizza, so please send in $2 for your child.
We are going to continue focusing on reading books that fit like a glove. Your child has their own personal book bin where they keep their books that interest them and are in their reading range. They get to pick books from our class library, but I also want to encourage them to bring books from home. Please make sure their name is in any book they bring from home. Some of you have asked about recommendations for books, so I have a list going on our Scholastic site. I plan to add more over the next week.
For the second 9 weeks, we will be covering pumpkins, U.S. symbols, and the election. If you have anything to share with the class on those topics, we would love to have you. Just send me an email to let me know.
I am still in need of dozen-sized egg cartons, so feel free to send your empty ones my way. Also, if your child gets a subscription to any magazine (Highlights, Lego etc.) and you want to get rid of their old issues, we can use those as well.
For the next 2 weeks, I have some pumpkin activities planned. We will need help with some supplies. If you would like to help, just send me an email and let me know how you want to help. We will need 20 mini pumpkins (the kind you get in the grocery store), 2 medium sized pumpkins, 1 can of 15 oz. pumpkin, 16 oz cool whip, and 1 vanilla instant pudding.
For those of you who are chaperoning on our field trip, please send in a copy of your insurance information and your driver's license. The school has to have it on file. Thank you so much for volunteering your time!
Thank you so much for all you do! We can't do it without you. You guys are amazing!
