Each student has their name on a brain. Let's see if they can find theirs tomorrow!
Also, each student can decorate a Zombie picture in class and we will put them up in the windows across from class (so our little hallway will be our Zombie Graveyard!!).
I'm excited for tomorrow, I hope that you are too!

Halloween Parade Tomorrow (10/31):
Here is the plan for tomorrow's Halloween Parade (as directed by Principal Kubiak):
Rain or Shine, we will begin promptly at 8:40am.
If raining, we will be outside of our classrooms, lined up at 8:40am. We will begin the parade line with Mrs. Laurie's Class, then Mr. Linnet's, then Ms. Baker's and continue along the upper hallway. After all of the upper classes have passed by the stairwell, then the 2nd/3rd grade classes that are downstairs will come up the stairwell and join the parade line. We will make a lap around the upper corridor of the school, then return to our classrooms.
If it is NOT raining, we will all meet outside on our lines at 8:40am. Mr. Kubiak will call classes to join the parade line on the track. Upper grade students will watch from the inside of the track, parents will have a designated viewing area.
Under both scenarios, parents CANNOT parade with the students.
Don't forget your cameras and plan to stay the first hour of school if you would like to capture some great memories of your child's first Halloween at school!!

This Month's At-Home Project: Homemade Vehicles!!
Hello Everyone,
Our new Unit Theme at school is Transportation. I thought what better way to build excitement over this theme, than to let the kids create their own transportation vehicle from items found around the house. Maybe they will build a race car, maybe a spaceship, maybe a school bus...whatever it is, it should have moving parts, and be able to transport someone (themselves, their hamster, a doll/figure, whatever) from one place to another. Parents can help with the design and material collection phases, but the creation should be 100% student-made!!
Here are three examples that I found online to help get those creative juices flowing.
Students have until Halloween to finish the project, and they can bring them in to show to the class whenever they have finished it. Happy Building!!
