A1 Turtles Update
Week 11 -Oct.27th
This Week...
We have continued to improve our skills in narrative writing this week. We also continued our pumpkin unit. We had a blast guessing each student's Halloween item during Talker's Club. Thank you so much to our parent helpers who came in to help us with ceramics! All of the kiddos had a great time creating their first ceramics project of the year. A big thank you to Rachel Hinojosa and Mia's Grandpa for giving us a super fun Art Vistas experience this week. You can support their efforts in math by practicing math facts at home. Please help your student by emptying their Friday folders and reviewing their work with them.

Halloween Party
Grandparents Day
Guadalupe Grandparents day is coming, it is on Friday, November 17th. ALL Grandparents may come to school at 10:30AM on this day to spend an hour in our classroom with their grandchildren. The Home and School Club will host a light coffee from 10:30-10:45 and then Grandparents may come down to our classroom at 10:45 when the bell rings. We will hear a Thanksgiving story, we will play some Thanksgiving games, we will have a craft and we will show our Grandparents our classroom. I must say, I really love this day and I love the way it sets off a fun week for the Thanksgiving break!
If Grandparents are unavailable or do not live close by, an Aunt, Uncle, neighbor, friend or parent is invited to attend with a child!
**This is a very special day and one that we spend a good deal of time preparing for. IF YOUR CHILD WILL NOT HAVE ANYONE PRESENT ON THIS DAY, please tell me ahead of time AND tell your child. This allows me to pair up your child with another child and their Grandparent. I hate to see tears flowing on this day, so advance notice of a solo child is greatly appreciated. Thank you!**

Walk-a-thon
Are you ready to ROCK???
This year, School of Rock is coming back to help us Rock the Walk at Guadalupe's Annual Walkathon. There will be live music, games, and an instrument petting zoo again.
Our class typically does well in both fundraising and laps, so let's keep that tradition going and register your children at https://www.uburst.com/cgi-bin/uwalk/accounts/AX2L3X6Y4G4Z4O0L60/uwalk.pl and start collecting pledges.
All money raised from the Walkathon goes to pay for our Recess 101 and Starting Arts classes for every student.
