Weekend Update

Hi Everyone!  Thank you for your help with our name project.  We have almost everyone's info on their names - check out our bulletin board in the hall with pictures and name backgrounds.  Thank you also for your help with our wonder center.  If officially opens tomorrow during center time, and the children will be observing and writing about the cool items we have - including two bird's nests, some moss, leaves, rocks, and a crystal.  We are still accepting items - so if something special turns up on a hike or in your yard, send it in.  
Pumpkin math:  The week of Halloween first graders will be doing some pumpkin math.   We will be weighing, measuring, and finally decorating (not carving) pumpkins.  If you could, it would be wonderful if you could send in a small pumpkin with your child for next Monday, October 22.  I will have a few pumpkins on hand, but not enough for everyone.
Book Fair:  The PTA book fair is the week of October 22nd.  A flyer with available books will probably go home this week.  You can choose books with your child, and send in the money on our day at the Fair - not sure what day yet, but I will let you know.  There is also a chance for you to purchase a book for our classroom at the fair - there will be a list of very reasonable priced books for you to pick from if you would like.

Thanks again for all your help - have a great week.
