Better late than never, right? Here are some images from our fun, classroom Halloween party last month.






 



We will be having a Halloween party on Monday, October 31st from 2:30-3:40. Students may bring the(appropriate, non-violent) costumes in their backpacks to school. They will get changed right before the party. Costumes should be easy to change in and out of so they can get changed in the classroom. My party planners are getting the party organized. If we need parent volunteers, money, or food donations from you, we will be asking you shortly. Thanks!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. This will be our second class party of the year. We will celebrate the afternoon of Monday, February 14th. Students may bring valentines for their classmates, but they must bring a Valentine for all the kids in the class. Your child should have a list of all the students in our class in their binder. Your child will also want to bring some sort of box to gather their valentines in. This does not need to be a huge, elaborate box. A shoe box is probably just the right size. Students will probably want to decorate it (but again, nothing elaborate- we don't want to cause an extra stress at home). Students can bring these boxes Friday, Feb. 11th or on Valentine's Day.

So things to remember for Valentine's Day:

• A decorated box
• Valentines for classmates (optional)

Also, Jessica Labitag is planning the Valentine's party. You will be receiving an email soon requesting supplies or extra help for the party.

Thanks!

Some students have asked about Halloween this year. Here are the answers for the kids in our class:

1) Students may wear their costumes to school on Friday, October 29th. They can either put them on first thing in the morning when they come to school or wait until our party in the afternoon- it's up to them.

2) We will be having a class party at 2:00 on Friday until the end of the day. If you would like to provide snacks, help plan activities, or come and help out, please contact our party coordinator, Jessica Labitag, jessica51301@hotmail.com.

*Please remember Issaquah School District has a health policy. Please don't send your children in with lots of candy after Halloween. It makes it hard for the kids to stay focused on their learning. Thanks!
