Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday!!

Hello families!
First off, a huge thank you to Marnie Rogstad, Louise Lindley, Carey Martens, and Cynthia Allum who are our Home Reading parent helpers! 

Soup from a Stone- Fancy that!!
Trouble getting your Grade 2er to eat all their veggies?? All you have to do is make your own pot of STONE SOUP! I couldn't believe how fast these monkeys ate up our delicious concoction! Thank you for all those parents who bought and prepped vegetables.  Grade 2E did an amazing job in their performance, and a huge shout out goes to Ms. Nevels for working so hard with them. 
I still need two more parent volunteers for our October 15th field trip to the Galt Gardens (9:00am to 11:00), as well at least 3 more drivers for the Crossings Branch Library field trip on October 27th from 12:50 to 2:10.  If you are able to donate some of your time please me email me back asap and that would be wonderful! 
Remember, it is the Scholastic Book Fair on October 14th and 15th.  Parents are welcome to look at any time, and our class will be visiting the Fair on both the 14th and the 15th (after the field trip).  If you want your Grade 2er to purchase a specific book, just let me know in advance. 
Pumpkin Math:  Each student needs to bring in a pumpkin on Monday October 25.  We will measure and compare them for a Math project, and send them home in time for carving.
Halloween Party:  On Friday October 29 we will have a school wide costume party at 8:45.  Parents are welcome to walk the parade with us.  We will then join the grade 2s for Bingo and Crafts.  Our class party will be from 11:00-11:45.  Parents who have agreed to donate snack for our party will be notified in the child’s agenda.
*Remember, there is ONE MORE DAY to get your HOT LUNCH money in! It is due on Tuesday, October 12th
Thank you for all of your help with Fire Safety Prevention Week! We had an awesome guest speaker from the fire department come in and discuss other safety tips with our class.  Each student got to take home a fabulous book that included a CD filled with Fire Safety prevention tips. 
This month we will really dive into creative writing.  We will be working on using our “juicy words” as we learn to think like authors
Here's to another awesome week in Grade 2E!!
