Fall Festival, Book Fair and Poetry in the Park

It's a busy next few weeks. Our Halloween parade of costumes begins at 8:30 Friday followed by Fall Festival. There will be several places for you to sign out your child when leaving campus that day.

Book Fair starts November 8th. We will be going to check it out that first day Monday morning from 9 to 9:30. You're welcome to go with us.

Here's a reminder from the organizers: If you're going to allow your child to make purchases when they visit with the class (versus just creating a list to take home of things they'd like), students should not bring large denomination bills or checks. Last year we had students with $50 bills and $100 checks - and most only buy about $20 worth, which meant we gave them cash change of a significant $ amount - which concerns us as a safety issue.

Wednesday November is Poetry in the Park starting at 8:30. The fourth grade recites "Paul Revere's Ride" at the end of the morning's program. I'm thinking of having our first "author share" event in our room afterward, since many parents and guests will already be here. We will be celebrating the books students will have published. I'll try and get a sense if many of you can stay on or would prefer coming back another day.
