Mrs. Zinzi's Weekly News
Halloween is Here!!
We had a condensed, yet very full schedule last week. Sometimes I am amazed at all your children are able to handle in a 2 and a half hour window...from special visitors, to fire drills, to birthday celebrations (piled with my own lesson plans), your children just roll with it. :)
We finally have a full week ahead of us, and of course we'll center it all around Halloween! This is usually the first year most of my little friends really begin to comprehend the idea of this holiday, and they REALLY get into it...so we follow suit! We'll be up to our ears in pumpkins, black cats, and all things (not so) spooky. We practice our manners when we trick or treat (I wanna hear a "thank you!"), and we'll be dressing in our costumes at the end of the week. It's a week of controlled chaos, and we are up for the task - it's worth it.
A few announcements/reminders to plan around:
- Picture Day is Tuesday and Wednesday of this week! If you haven't sent in your order envelope, we'll be taking them up until the morning of...
- Halloween will be celebrated on Thursday and Friday of this week. Your children are allowed to come in costume, but we ask for no scary masks or weapons to be worn or brought to school. The party itself will take place during their snack time, and is for the children only. However, ALL parents are invited to head down to the classroom after morning drop off for a group photo if interested. :)
- Keep in mind, your children will be engaging in regular preschool activities the day of the Halloween party. That means, glue, paint, mulch...plan accordingly! Princess slippers on the playground, or constricting costumes that are difficult to use in the bathroom may not be the wisest choices. ;) You may want to have your child dressed in play clothes underneath because 80% of my friends strip out of their costumes within an hour into the morning - ha!
- Parent/Teacher Conferences are coming up! I can't wait to meet and discuss your little geniuses with you. I will be sending out a Signup Genius link to both classes so that you may sign up for a time slot. I will meet with my 2 Day Class on Thursday, November 10th, and with my 3 Day Class on Friday, November 11th. There will be no regular classes those days. Be on the lookout for the links in your email this week!
