Week of October 1, 2018

We had another fun filled week of learning this week.  The children loved spending the day with their teddy bears on Show and Tell Friday.  We had fun going on our "bear hunt" and using our binoculars to explore our sense of sight.
This upcoming week we will have a visit from the Roxbury Fire Department and will spend some time learning about fire safety.  We will also begin learning about letter Cc and continue exploring the signs of Fall.
We are looking for 3 additional volunteers to our room parents for our Fall Fun Day.  Please note that the date is tentatively set for October 19th but may have to be postponed to the following week due to farm availability.  I will let you know the exact date as soon as it is confirmed.  Thank you for your flexibility.  We are collecting $14 per student for the expense of the farm animal visit as well as a pumpkin for each student.  Please return your payment with your child's name by Friday, October 12th.
Please be reminded that there will be no school on Friday, October 5th or Monday, October 8th due to Staff Development and Columbus Day.  Hope everyone enjoys the long weekend.
