Book Sharing and Halloween
Book Sharing
For "Show and Tell" in room 3, I would like your son or daughter to bring in a children's picture book that has been read to him/her at home. The book should be simple enough for your child to share with a small group of children. I will ask each student to do a picture walk through the book and perhaps share their favorite part of the story.
Every child will be assigned one day during the week that they will share their book. Please know that I DO NOT expect the children to be able to read their books. They are sharing a story after it has been read to them at home.
My goal is that this type of show and tell will give the children an opportunity to speak in front of a small group, (four or five children) while building reading comprehension. As the year goes on I will have the children start to make connections with the stories as well as talk about the setting and characters in the story.
Book sharing will start the first week of November. You should have received a letter last week letting you know which day of the week you child has been assigned.
Halloween
Memorial School will be having it's traditional school-wide Halloween parade and classroom parties.
Memorial School Rules about costumes and snacks. . .
Costumes
All children are asked to bring their costumes to school in a well-labeled bag. Children will be given time to change into their costumes and time to change out of their costumes before they leave for home. If part of a costume can be worn to school and reduce changing needs, such as black tights, white shirt, sports jersey, that is fine. NO weapons are allowed; nor should children wear masks that cover their faces. We encourage you to help your child choose a costume that is appropriate for school. We have many young children who can be easily scared, and we want this time to be enjoyed by all.
Snacks
To remain sensitive to food allergies and health regulations, we strongly encourage healthy options for the celebrations. No sugared drinks are permitted and only one "sweet" treat will be allowed among other offerings. The following is a recommended list of appropriate snacks: apples, bananas, oranges, berries or other fruits, carrot sticks, celery, sliced veggies, small serving of pretzels or popcorn, etc. . .Please keep in mind that no candy is permitted at any school sponsored celebration held during regular school hours. Room parents will be arranging snacks for the party. Please do not send in snacks unless you are contacted by a room parent to do so.
Families are invited to come view the parade. The Full Day Kindergarten parade will begin at 1:30.
The children will exit out the main entrance, walk around the building past the library, through the playground, and into the bus loop. They will then enter back into the school through the main entrance doors.
