Please be reminded that we will be celebrating Halloween on this coming Tuesday, Oct. 31st. The children are encouraged to wear their costumes to school that morning. Please join us for a costume parade outside starting at 8:45am. A "festive" bag was sent home with the children last week. You may use the bag to pack a secret treat for your child's snack. I apologize for them being so small and please feel free to provide your child with their normal snack bag as well!
We are asking our Barrows School community to donate canned goods and other materials to help those suffering in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria. Students may bring in donations now until November 9th.
The students have been busy little bees continuing to work on their letter recognition and hand-writing, as well as number formation up through number '9'. We have begun to distinguish between vowels and consonants when exploring our letters.
In Writer's Workshop, the students are continuing to work on detailed pictures, but are now also encouraged to "stretch words out" and begin to label beginning and ending sounds that they hear in their words. We began using special pens this week to do our labeling with - such a treat to use rather than pencils!
I appreciate all of your patience with my being out again last week for Professional Development time. Have a wonderful weekend with your littles!
