From Our Room Mothers Jaida and Sarah:

Hello parents,

We will be having a class party on the 30th. I am in need of volunteers and supplies. I would love to see as many parents come, but if  you cannot attend you can still assist by donating some items for our activities. If you can volunteer we need you there at 12:15 and plan on being there until about 2:30. If you can donate any of the items listed please e-mail me. Also, each student needs to bring a small pumpkin (sugar pumpkin), and a small container to bring a cupcake home. (a plastic bowl or container.  If not, your child will carry it out of school) Please send those items with your student on the 30th. The following is a list of items that we need. Please keep in mind that we have about 30 students.
-Crayons- roughly 10 boxes of 24 or broken pieces  MS. KALEY HAS A SOME
-Several bottles of tacky glue
-Stick on magnets found in the craft section. Usually one side is sticky.
-Popsicle sticks-small- we need roughly 250 so multiple if multiple parents can donate that would be great. SOME DONATED
-Markers KIDS HAVE THEIRS, BUT EXTRAS TO HAVE ON HAND
-Googly eyes- 30 pair- DONATED
-Bag of play sand-25 pounds- you can find this at Home Depot or Lowes (it is only a few dollars for this amount.  Maybe $5.00 for 25lbs)
-8 containers of corn starch
-30 zip lock bags- DONATED
-Construction paper WE HAVE SOME IN CLASS
-4 bags of candy corn

* PLEASE EMAIL JAIDA or SARAH to say you are coming to help: jaidabrown@mail.weber.edu or boudreauxpartyof5@hotmail.com
I know that some of the things on this list are confusing, so if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you in advance for your help. I cannot pull these fun parties off without the support of our parents.

Upcoming in November:

Students will do a home project for November that focuses around family and history.  Projects will be shared on November 20th in the afternoon.  

Level 1 project: Interview a grandparent or great-grandparent about their life.  I will post questions to ask, but you are welcome to help your first grader write their own.  If no grandparents or great-grandparents exist, have your child interview a neighbor, aunt/uncle, family friend etc. (Just not mom or dad).

Level 2 project: Ancestor/Genealogy project.  Students will make a family tree poster and present their posters to the class.  Please have your child understand who they are talking about. They don’t have to know everything about that family member, but I would hope they would know their name.

Level 3 project: Family Recipe project.  3rd grade students will need to ask their family members if they have a passed down recipe or special/favorite item that gets made for Thanksgiving or special family events.  Students will learn to make that recipe at home and bring into class to share.  I would like 3rd graders to share the lineage from the recipe (a report on who started the recipe, how many times it has been passed down etc.)  If your family doesn’t have a passed down recipe, find one together and maybe start one for your family!  Example: if your child chooses a green bean casserole recipe, then have him/her write about the history behind the green bean casserole).  Really do involve your child in the cooking process.  Definitely have your child read the recipe, find the measurement tools, do the measuring for you.  You are acting as a safety measure and guide.
