We have made it through the week, and are one week away from Fall Break! Today was a great day, as we ended the day with our PTO Walk-a-Thon! The kids had a great time walking outside and listening to music. I have several upcoming events to remind you of:
Conferences: I am holding conferences next week. Please be sure to show up on-time for your scheduled conference as these are scheduled back-to-back and are only 15 minutes long. Confirmation slips went home at the beginning of the week. If you are unsure or have lost your conference date and time, please contact me.
Pajama Day: We will be having a school-wide pajama day on Thursday, October 10. This is to raise some money for the United Way of Johnson County. Students are asked to contribute a donation in exchange for being able to wear their PJ's to school. You can send the money in that morning. Your child may choose to wear slippers, HOWEVER, please send them to school in normal shoes. They can change when they ARRIVE in our classroom. Thanks!
Zoo Field Trip: Don't forget we are heading to the zoo on Friday, October 11. Thanks for getting your child's permission slip and money in on time! I will be sending home a reminder closer to the day with a bit more info on how to best plan for this trip.
Fall Break: Our Fall Break is October 14-18. There will be no school this entire week. Enjoy the break away and we will see you back on Monday, October 21.
Vision Screening: We will be traveling to Northwood Elementary on Thursday, October 24 for a vision screening with a local optometrist. This is a free service provided for your child. More information on this will come home closer to the day.
Halloween Program: The Creekside Kindergarteners will be putting on a Halloween Program on Monday, October 28 from 6-7pm here at school. You will NOT WANT TO MISS THIS! More info will be coming home soon! They have already begun learning songs for this program.... I'm sure you are hearing them at home!
All of these events can be found on our Classroom Calendar, so refer to it should you need a refresher on upcoming events! Also, please be sure to check the Snack Calendar for our October dates!
Enjoy your weekend!
