     The week of our class trip has arrived.  This Friday we will be going to Mulberry Lane Farm.  Each child will need to bring a lunch and a drink.  Please be sure that everything is disposable.  Drink boxes are great.  A soda is really too big for little tummies.  Also, please send along a sturdy sack or pillow case in which your child can carry his pumpkin home.  Be sure to dress him for the weather.  Parents who have signed up to meet us at the farm and would like to carpool should be to school by 8:15. You might want a sack for your pumpkin too.
     Look for two notes to be coming home.  One will ask for your help in sending some items for our science unit on sound.  The other will give your child's school generated password for using Spelling City to study our spelling units words.
     Thank you to those who have sent stickers and snack bags.  We can always use them.
HAVE A GOOD WEEK AND ENJOY THE LOVELY WEATHER!

     Parents - We have had a number of children who have not been in their seats and ready for school to begin at the 8 o'clock bell.  Your child will be marked tardy if this happens.  Also if you bring your child and the back door is locked, you need to enter in the door by the church. Go into the office and get a slip which you sign for your child to enter the classroom.  It is important to follow these school procedures.
     We had a wonderful afternoon with the children's grandparents last Friday.  No wonder we have such wonderful parents and children at our school!    
     A few children did not return their class trip forms by the due date.  Please be sure to get those slips in to me so we are able to finalize the plans for our trip.  Thank you!

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK!
