October has been a great month! We started the month with our Animal Projects, then enjoyed a nice long fall break, and have been busy ever since we got back to school. Last week was a great Just Say No Red Ribbon Week. Thank you to my room mothers for doing an outstanding job on decorating our door. Of course, the kids had a hand in it too

. It looks amazing. It was great to see so much participation last week from all of the students. We ended Friday with our Halloween parade and party! It was a great day and once again, thank you to my room mothers and all other parents who helped out with the party. The kids had a great time and I was so impressed with how well-behaved everyone was all day long. I know it is not easy to focus on school work when there is such excitement in the air! This week is the start of November. Don’t forget, all field trip money and permission slips are due this Wednesday. Everyone is looking forward to our trip to see Junie B. Jones on November 15. Looking ahead, November will be a packed month, so take a close look at the November calendar which is coming home on Tuesday. I will be starting my maternity leave at the end of the month and will be sending home more details in the coming weeks about the smooth transition we are hoping to have!
