Hello Parents-
PICTURE DAY is TOMORROW!!!
I love coming out the doors to recess and seeing 1/3 of our class agains the wall doing handstands!
FALL FESTIVAL! is this Friday! Jen our room mom is in dire straits to get help for the festival. She needs at least 2 more volunteers and an idea for a game, 5 total of volunteers. 2 of the volunteers are for the school sponsored slide and 3 are for each hour for our own class game. She needs an idea for a game ASAP and needed volunteers. She will not be able to attend on Friday, so she needs parent help in place of her. Please email her at jenqw@digis.net- 6th graders if you would like to earn service hours please contact Ms. Jen for one of these volunteer positions.
Fall Festival- this Friday, Oct. 14 4:00-7:00, tickets for games is 4/ $1.00 and ride wristbands for sale $7.00 at https://squareup.com/store/mapa prior to event or $8.00 at the door. Eat dinner at the food truck rally.

Please join us for a late fall day full of fun and adventure outside. Please contact our room mother, Jen, if you are interested in driving- we will need enough drivers to drive the class of 27. RSVP to Jen- if you are going to attend the full day and picnic.

We will need enough drivers to transport to and from, but we will only be able to accept two chaperones to attend the field trip. Please contact Jen, if you can drive and/ or if you would like to attend. The donation we are asking for this field trip is $2.
Spelling– Our spelling is underway. The last week and half the students have been learning different activities to practice their spelling. Words Their Way is a spelling program that focuses on the patterns of words (consonant/ vowels), roots, suffixes and derivational meaning. This coming week the students will have their spelling reviews. Next week they will get new words. At home please make sure their words are in their planners and the attachment is a list of activities they could be practicing home. Thank you. words-their-way-activities
