Dear Parents,
Thank you to the chaperones for joining our class on the San Diego Safari Park Field Trip and helping make the day run smoothly.
Tuesday, October 31st, is our first class celebration. Thank you to our room parents, Tina Gandhi and Kelly Nolan, for your hard work and time in organizing our Fall Party.
We will be allowing the students to dress up on Halloween. While students are not required to wear costumes on Halloween, those students who do wish to participate are reminded of no masks and no weapons. We will have a Halloween Parade first thing in the morning on Tuesday, October 31st.
The students filled their marble jar. They earned stuffed animal, pajama day, and "bring an electronic device to school"(optional) on this Wednesday, November 1st. If they do not have an electronic device, they can use their school Chromebook or play class games during their free time. Way to go class! In order for your child to bring an electronic device, you will need to fill out the following form. I will also send a paper copy home on Monday.
