    This Week!
    This week we will continue with our weekly
    spelling tests. The children did a great job last
    week. Helping them to review during the week and
    not waiting until Thursday night also helps to give
    the children confidence.
    We will be only be focusing on one story
    this week. The story is about a little leopard that is
    adopted by another family. The little leopard feels
    that he does not belong and tries to find a family
    that is more like him. Read the story with your
    son/daughter and enjoy the great ending. Don’t
    forget to return the reading/flashcard slips.
    Bird Feeder
    Thank you so much to
    those that sent in birdseed.
    The children really enjoy
    seeing them come for their
    daily meals. If you did not
    have the opportunity of
    sending in seed, we will gladly take contributions,
    throughout the year.
    Show and Tell
    We will continue to give the children the
    opportunity of having “Show and Tell Time” each
    Friday. It gives the children confidence in sharing
    in front of the class, thus preparing them for oral
    presentations as they grow older.
    Fire Prevention Week
    This week is set aside each
    year as “Fire Prevention Week”.
    During this week we will focus on how
    to prevent fires within the home and
    what to do and what not to do in the
    event of a fire. This is done
    not
    to scare
    the children, but instead to help them
    think safety. Twelve fire drills are conducted each
    year to ensure the safety of the children here at
    school. During the week (weather permitting) we
    will try a window escape, since we are on the first
    level. I have enclosed a form for you to actually
    write down two ways to escape from your home in
    the event of a fire. I am encouraging the children to
    return the form to school upon completion. One
    family I know, actually rehearses the drill in their
    home annually.
    Harvest Fest
    Our Harvest Fest will be held on Tuesday,
    October 31
    st
    . The Harvest Fest will be centered
    around The Wizard of Oz. The children will also
    have the opportunity of participating in the annual
    Halloween Parade that will be held at the end of the
    school day.
    Science Fair
    Our annual Science Fair will be held on
    Wednesday, October 18

    brought to school on the 17

    newsletter today.
