Happy Halloween! I hope you enjoy a fun, safe night of trick-or-treating!
Halloween Party
A HUGE thank you to all the parents that contributed and helped with the Halloween Party today! The kids had a great time playing BINGO, decorating cookies, making spoon puppets, and walking on a spider web.
Lockdown Drill
This morning, after the Halloween Party, the school had a lockdown drill. The children did a great job of listening and following directions.
Homework
I realized after the kids left today that I forgot to include the poetry for homework. I will send it home on Monday.
Next week we will be studying pumpkins. Please remember that Wednesday is a late start day so kids will need to arrive at school at 11:30.

Weekly news
5th Grade Buddies
On Wednesday, we went for a nature walk with our 5th Grade Buddies. We walked around collecting various leaves. When we returned to the classroom, we compared and contrasted the leaves. The 5th Graders also taught the kindergarteners about the water cycle and how the weather changes in autumn.
Red Ribbon Week
Next week is Red Ribbon Week. During Red Ribbon Week, we encourage kids to stay away from drugs and lead a healthy lifestyle. Students are asked to participate by wearing red on Monday, October 27, wearing red, white, and blue on Wednesday, October 29, and wear sweats on Friday October 31.
Trick-or-Treat Night
Thursday, October 30 from 6:00-7:30, Legacy will be holding its annual Trick-or-Treat night. Trust me...you do not want to miss this! The teachers dress up in costume and give treats away. There are also a number of activities in the building to participate in. I look forward to this night every year! The sign up page has already been sent home, but if you need another one, I will be happy to get one for you. I look forward to seeing everyone there!
Halloween Party
We will have a Halloween party WITHOUT COSTUMES on Friday, October 31. We will have several fun activities in the room. Students are welcome to bring treats to school to share. One of the stations will be decorating cookies. I need plain sugar cookies and orange frosting. If you are willing to donate these, it would be very much appreciated. Let me know if you plan to send cookies or frosting. If you would like to volunteer for the party, let me know. Thank you!
Late Start
The next Late Start day is Wednesday, November 5. School will start 11:30 that day.

The Week In Review
Happy Friday!
We had a wonderful week learning about Autumn. We learned that Autumn and Fall are the same season! We will continue learning about Fall next week as well. Next week we will focus on scarecrows.
Good news! We will go to the library on Monday. We have missed our library time for two weeks because of the book fair and hearing/vision testing. I know the children will be excited to check out new books.
There will be NO SCHOOL next Friday, October 17. This is a conference compensation day for teachers.
Picture re-take day will be Friday, October 24.
I also have it on good authority that the Legacy Elementary Halloween party will be Thursday, October 30 from 6:00-7:30. I highly recommend this event! The children are invited to dress in their Halloween costumes and trick-or-treat around the building. The teachers also dress up in costumes! The trick-or-treating is just the beginning. There are a number of fun and exciting activities around the school to participate in. I hope to see you there!
Halloween is on a Friday this year. Although we will have a class party that day, students are NOT to wear costumes to school (that's what the big party the night before is for). If you would like to volunteer for the party, let me know.
Have a great weekend!

A Few Items
Vision and Hearing Screening
The children will be participating in the district's annual vision and hearing screening on Monday, October, 6.
Lexia and MyOn
On Friday, I sent home a paper with information on Lexia and MyOn as well as log-in information. The children work on the Lexia program in the computer lab on Mondays and Wednesdays. Lexia provides opportunities to practice various reading skills. MyOn offers books online. The children can read a book on the computer, or have the book read to them. If they come to a word they do not recognize, they can click on the word and the program will read it to them. These programs are excellent and support the skills we are learning in the classroom. Please help your child learn to log-in by pointing out which keyboard keys they need to push. It is important that they log-in with your support. Thank you for your help with this!
Volunteers needed
Two volunteers are needed:
One person is needed to help with Friday Folders on Fridays.
One person is needed to tear pages out of the math notebooks. This can be on either Monday or Wednesday of this week.
Please let me know if you are interested in helping. Thank you!
