Yesterday and today kindergarten students took home a paper with their Parent-Teacher Conference
time. Please check your child's backpack for this information. Parents who have not turned their

conference times, I look forward to meeting with all of you.

OPEN HOUSE
This Thursday October 22nd is our Open House from 6:30-7:30. Come on in and check out your
child's
classroom and the rest of the school as well. Celebration Books starts at 5:30 and will be set up all
through the front hall. Hope to see you Thursday Night!
PARENT- TEACHER CONFERENCE
These will be held Thursday Nov. 5th and Friday Nov. 6th. I will be sending sign- up sheets home
tomorrow, please check your child's backpack. With thirty students it will be very hard to give
everyone
their first choice, so please be flexible and give me more than one option. We have twenty minutes to
speak and conferences are back to back, so please be on time. We will also set up a later date to
meet if
we have more to discuss at the end of twenty minutes. Thank you for your flexibility and patience, I
look forward to meeting with all of you.
HALLOWEEN
We will celebrate Halloween on Friday October 30th. Kindergarten students may BRING a costume to
change into for our Kindergarten Halloween Parade and party. We will have some games set up and
have
a good ole'Halloween time! If you would like to send in a special Halloween snack, please let me
know. I
could also use two parent volunteers to help that day.

FALL
We will begin our study of the fall season this week. We are working on a graph of things that
happen in the fall to people, animals, insects and plants.After we make our list we will create a visual
representation with drawings and hang it in the hallway.We will make our next class book entitled "In
The Fall." We will learn about trees, their life cycle, and why their leaves turn colors. We will observe
leaves we gather and recreate them with watercolor paints. The fifth grade will visit us and we will
make leaf prints using tempera paint and go on a scavenger hunt.
In math we are working on attributes, using buttons, attribute blocks and now leaves. We are
creating graphs of all kinds( are you a boy or a girl, are you the oldest child in your family, etc.)
We will have a visit from The Plainfield Fire Dept. sometime in the next two weeks. This visit will
celebrate fire prevention week.
