News from the Teacher
Happy Monday!
I hope you all had a 4-day weekend!
This week we will have a spelling, vocab, and reading test. This week is also our Halloween party! Details are below. If you signed up to bring something, please send it with your child Friday morning!
Also, starting this weekend each child will be getting a weekend to bring our classroom friend, Beasley the Bunny, home! He is a stuffed rabbit that will come home for the weekend with his weekend bag. He will also have a journal. Your child will get him for one weekend, and he will return to school with your child and all his belongings the next school day (which is Monday most of the time). Your child will be journaling about Beasley's adventures during his stay with your family. Pictures can be included in the journal as well! It is meant to be a fun writing opportunity for your child, that also allows a lot of creativity and fun! Beasley will be taken home by me during the week so he can be washed and ready to go home with the next family. Please be sure that he is being taken care of and respected. Have fun!
Also, there will be a hard copy of the newsletter sent home each week starting today.
Have a great week!
Ms. Kruse
