The book fair will be here until Thursday. Please send money in a bag or some form of carrier if your child is going to shop. I want to warn you that there are a lot of little toy items there as well as books. You may want to come up with an agreement with your child about how much money should be spent on books. The toy items were eyed very closely during our preview time Friday.
We had a fantastic time at Lanark. The weather was perfect! I will post a slideshow so you can enjoy some of our memories from the day.
A great big thank you to Amir's mom for providing us with a pumpkin! We had a blast getting all of the seeds and pulp out of it. Bella's mom was kind enough to perfectly carve a Halloween Cat for us on our pumpkin. We thought she did a perfect job! We didn't get to cook our seeds at school, so I brought them home to cook. We'll let you know tomorrow how they tasted. The kids selected the seasoning to cook them in. It makes me laugh every year when I am told that they taste just like chicken! We'll see if this year is any different. Second graders are the best!!
American Education Week is coming up November 14-18th. We will be doing a lot of different activities during that week to celebrate, but the one you need to start thinking about is Career Day. We will come to school that Wednesday, November 16th dressed as our future career. You may want to start talking to your child about this to make sure you have the attire you need.
Also, on that Thursday I would love for guest readers to come and read to our class. Please let me know if you are available.
