2 more sleeps to the Big Day! Although we have not been talking about Halloween in class, the children spontaneously began counting down sleeps yesterday at calendar time. Today we had a brief discussion about what they could expect on Thursday and I better share the details with you before you get a 5 year old's version (which I am sure would include tons of treats in their lunch and a new puppy). Traditionally Halloween is Orange and Black Day at BEST but this year we have added the opportunity to dress up in Halloween costumes as well. The children are welcome to wear their costumes in the morning (no weapons or masks are allowed) but they must be removed for the afternoon assembly. Please note that if your child wears their costume it might not come home in the same shape it came to school in. Please label all costume pieces with names and refrain from sending little bits and pieces/ accessories as they are difficult to keep track of.
We will be continuing our pumpkin unit this week and probably into next by completing activities and scientific investigations of our class pumpkins and then carving one. Various Halloween activities will take place throughout Thursday, including a Halloween safety discussion, rotating stations in mixed K-3 groups and the Magic Potions presentation followed by a primary dance in the afternoon. Fun fun fun!!
If you would like to send a special snack in celebration of Halloween for your child to share with the class please feel free to do so. We have 17 students. Note that one of our friends can not have nuts or dairy.
Please refrain from sending more than 1 Halloween treat to school each day with your child in November.
