Pictures: I put up some more pictures from last week. Sorry I didn't have enough hands to take pictures of our apple day, but I can assure you that it was a success! Thank you to our volunteers! They thoroughly enjoyed the applesauce. Plus I'm pretty sure no one sneezed in it. BONUS! Pumpkin Day (Wednesday): This wednesday (and all throughout the week) we are celebrating pumpkins! Activities include: - Making pumpkin soup! - Dissecting pumpkins - Decorating pumpkins (Stickers, ribbons etc) - Pumpkin life cycle - Pumpkin lacing and crafting Upcoming dates: THIS Friday Oct 27 is a PD Day! Halloween/Dance-a-thon Oct 31st Photo Retakes Nov 3 Humane Society visit Nov 6 Halloween: Every year JMC does a parade around the school. Students are asked to bring in their costumes and we will give them time to change. Please avoid sending in "extras" that might get damaged or lost (e.g., no swords). The Dance-a-thon will occur in the middle of the day (I believe). Students will basically jump and dance in a dark gym with very loud music and flashing lights. I'm sure they will be pretty excited when it's all said and done! Which reminds me, we will not be accepting FOOD or CANDY for the class. Thanks for your understanding! Art Benefit: Currently the students are working on some pretty great looking art pieces that will adorn our hallway shortly (Kandinsky portraits!). I wanted to let you know that our plan this year is to keep a handful of pieces for the year so that we can hold an art benefit at the end of the year. So if you don't see much coming home, not to worry! We hope to celebrate their amazing creativity in the spring with a black-tie event! If this is not of interest to you, please let me know and we can make other arrangements.
