October Fun!!!

Hello Parents!!

We would just like to start off by thanking all of the parents who have brought in donations for the Class Academy Auction!  The baskets are filling up, and the items that you have donated are sure to be a hit!  

We have been having a lot of fun this past week while learning about scarecrows and measuring our pumpkins!  The children have enjoyed the fall festivities, and seem to be excited about the "pumpkin hunt" that will be taking place at Class Academy at the end of the month.  We have previously asked the parents to bring in hay and clothes so that the students can dress up as scarecrows during our Fall themed activity.  Many of you have already brought in these items, but there is no need to worry if you have not had the time to gather these materials.  We have managed to acquire additional hay and clothes that can be shared amongst the students for this activity.

Perhaps the most exciting event that will be taking place this week will be the celebration of Diwali on Friday the 24th.  The school calendar has marked this event to occur on the 28th, but don't let this fool you...we will be celebrating at the end of this week!  The Balloons and Toucans will enjoy this festive occasion while the students participate in creative activities, listen to stories, and learn about the culture and history incorporated with this traditional Indian holiday.  Many parents have offered to bring in traditional Indian clothes for the students and teachers to wear, and we would like to thank them again for all of their help.
