Veteran's Day Assembly

Our Veteran's Day assembly was this morning. We had a wonderful turn out of veterans. I was so proud of the students for being so well behaved and such good listeners during the presentation. The boy scouts did the flag ceremony. The Character Choir sang, and all the veterans got to say a few words. Their stories are all so interesting, and they are truly touched by our program each year. I believe there were 33 veterans this year and I think each one thanked us for having them.

A few incidentals

We are collecting books boys would like for our Breakfast With Santa basket. Thanks to those of you who have donated books so far!! We are also still collecting nonperishable food donations for Feed My People, through our Kids Who Care campaign. 
Dr. Morgan would like all the students to wear red, white and blue on Monday for our Veteran's Day assembly.
My aunt is turning 90 years old this weekend, so I won't be at Kennerly's Boutique on Saturday, but Happy Shopping!
By the way, I am accepting donations of black felt to be used for the chair legs. It keeps them from being noisy! The felt is only 25cents per square at the craft stores.
Thanks!

Kids Voting

The students went to the technology classroom to cast their votes today. They were able to vote on the laptops for president, senator and governor. Afterward they received "I voted" stickers, just like the grown ups. We will find out the results of the election next Wednesday. Do you think it will match the nationwide vote?

One More Halloween Post

This poem is titled: Three Little Ghostesses.

Halloween!

The spookiest bunch ever!!

Making spider webs.

A big thank you to all the grown up helpers!!

Blowing cotton ball "ghosts" down the hall.

Pin the witch nose on the clown was tricky!

There was no lack of fun!

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Halloween, I know I did!!

Catching Up

Fall is finally here! Today we decided to go up to the glass hallway and do some Yoga stretches   to get our blood pumping and our minds ready for learning.

Notice our use of technology? Ha!





Here is a video of the Seven Little Monsters poem we memorized this week!

I am looking forward to seeing all of you at conferences next week. There will be a book fair in the library during conferences. The students were able to look around the book fair today and are excited about all the book choices. Christmas is just around the corner!
The Halloween parade to Tesson Heights will be so much fun next Wednesday. I hope everyone saw the Costume Guidelines that were sent home by Dr. Morgan yesterday. Please have your child BRING their costume in a bag marked with their name. We will have time to change into our costumes before the party. I would like to ask (as a special favor to me) that no one comes to school wearing hair color. Since we do not dress up until the afternoon, it is a huge distraction the rest of the day. Thank you so much for your help! Happy Fall!!
