October 28-November 1

Thank you to our fantastic parent volunteers who joined us for our field trip to the Helen Schuler Nature Center.  It was a cool day, but the students were very excited and had so much fun learning about our seasonal changes and how animals prepare for winter.  Please check the pictures tab for photos of the field trip.

Information Items

Halloween- if your child chooses to wear a costume on Halloween, please have them put it on before they come to school.  We ask that all students keep any fake weapons, gore, or scary masks at home for this day.  Thanks for your support with this!  Our school parade will begin at 9:00 am.  Families are welcome to join us if they wish.  I can't wait to see everyone in their costumes!

Welcome Mrs. Bennis!
We are very excited to welcome Jaqueline Bennis to our classroom on Monday!  Jaqueline is a PS1 student teacher from the U of L who will be spending her practicum with us in Grade One!  Her orientation day is on Monday and she will officially begin teaching with me on November 12 for one month.  I know that she is going to love my students as much as I do and we are thrilled to have her become a part of our class.
