Building a Thriving Learning Community!
November 5, 2019
Remember No School Nov. 11th, Veteran's Day
Taste of Learning Parent Day, November 22
American Education Week is November 18-22, which promotes collaboration between parents and educators. To celebrate Aspen School will invite parents into the classroom for a hands-on experience of what the day is like for their child. We will serve apples, pumpkin pie, and apple cider. If you can find child care for your little ones it would be ideal, but it is not required. Good news! Del Norte Credit Union and the LAPS Foundation are sponsoring the event! Parents/Guardians make the difference in a child's education. Please join us!
Schedule*
8:30-9:15: K, 2, 3
9:15-10: 1, 4, 6
*5th grade will be on a field trip that day.

Thanksgiving Hot Lunch for All Students, November 14th
We are thankful for our wonderful students and staff as well as the support of our community. Remember that this year is a little different. Instead of feeding parents on the 14th, we are inviting parents into the classrooms for a Taste of Learning, on November 22.
Nurse Amy's Notes
Many childhood illnesses are caused by viruses. All it takes is a single child to bring a virus to school for the spread to begin. Consider this common scenario — a child who has a cold coughs or sneezes in the classroom. The children sitting nearby inhale the infected respiratory droplets and the cold spreads.
Why hand-washing counts
Frequent hand-washing is one of the simplest — and most effective — ways to prevent the spread of germs. Suggest soaping up for as long as it takes to sing the "Happy Birthday" song twice. Remind your child to wash his or her hands:
- Before eating food
- After using the toilet
- After blowing his or her nose, coughing, or sneezing

November Leave No Trace Challenge
The Aspen Green Leaves Team is inviting your class to participate in the Leave No Trace Challenge.
The class that spends the most time picking up playground trash will receive the traveling Aspen Green Leaves trophy. Your whole class does not need to participate at once. You can send a small group to pick up trash during recess, or other supervised time, and that will count towards your class time.
Every time your class picks up trash from the playground from November 1-29, log your time here!
