We had a great time on our first field trip to Hilltop Farm/Pumpkin Patch. The children were well behaved and we look forward to other trips with them. We hope to have another one right before our Thanksgiving Break. Watch for info to come as that develops.
You will be receiving information this week (if you haven't already seen it in your daily folders) on two important programs going on at CES. One is sponsored through our library program. It is the Read for Auburn/Alabama contest. This is a state wide program that encourages children to be read to at home. It is free and you can complete this in a six day time frame. Check your folder for full details.
The second event coming up next Monday, Nov. 3, is CES Family Math Night. This is a great way for you to see what your child is doing in math. Plan to bring your child at 6 p.m. and they will teach you how math is done! You are encouraged to visit other classrooms so you can see the connections from one grade level to another. This is one of the most highly attended events at CES every year. Don't miss it! The flyer you are receiving says Blue Pod is performing/singing at math night. This has been changed to our performing for the PTO at the January 2015 meeting. Just come on November 3 and have a great time!!
Finally, Drug Free/ Red Ribbon week will take place at CES from October 27- October 31. The counselors work with the children all week as we begin to help our youngest students understand the effects of drug use in a developmentally appropriate manner. It is a fun week for the children, and culminates on Friday with a costume parade on Oct. 31. (NO scary costumes). You are welcome to come watch the parade ( around 8 a.m.in the main lobby area by the lunchroom) and join in the fun for this creative day at our school. Students will enjoy a Halloween party on Friday afternoon. Room moms or your teacher will be contacting you for party food if you signed up to help at our Parent Report time back in September. Our special snack will be at 1:30 on Friday afternoon.You are welcome to join us for that , too. Reminders of what to wear all week are listed in the column to your right.You can tell it is going to be a busy week!
Have a good week!
Blue Pod Teachers.
