Dear Parents,  

The Election
It was an exciting week as we watched and the presidential election. Students voted on Monday, and they had many questions and earnest thoughts about it. We posted all of this on our Kidblog which can be accessed from our class webpage. Thank you, parents, for commenting on our posts!

Upcoming Field Trip:
Our field trip to Shelburne Farms is on Wednesday, November 14th. Please sign and hand in your permission slip (if you haven't already) by Tuesday. We will be leaving at about 8:45 a.m. and returning to school at 2:15 p.m. If you offered to chaperone, I will be in touch with you in the next couple of days. 

Children should be dressed for the weather. Every child will also need a lunch from home and a drink to take with them. The trip is about farm life long ago and today. Shelburne Farms does a fantastic job with their field trips. We’re looking forward to it!

Our First Snow: we went for a walk outside Monday morning to marvel in the snow squall. PJ Zimakas (Nina's dad) happened to be in the classroom, so he joined us. And students decided that the sharing for the week should be "What we like to do in the snow."


Sharing for This Week and Next Week (combined): "What I am thankful for."

Snack: I think these kids are growing! Many kids, recently, have come to me at snack time to say that they finished their snack and they are still hungry. Please chat with your child to see if  he or she needs a little extra as the cold days arrive.

Fundations and Math Homework:
A few students got out the door on Friday without having handed in their Math or Fundations work (due Thursday). Please take a quick look in your child's backpack to see if their homework is still there. Also, check in the Friday Folder to see if there is any make-up work or Monday.

Thanks Everyone.

Mr. Bolger
