Fall is finally here! The weather has been beautiful! As cooler morning weather arrives you might want to send in a jacket for your child to wear in the morning. 
Important Points of Interest:
  • Only a few days left to register for the Bobcat Shuffle and get the shirt! The last day to sign up and receive your shirt is Monday, October 1st. 
    The classroom with the most students registered by 10/1/18 will win a Donut Party with their class! 
  • Trunk-or-Treat is just around the corner on Friday, Oct. 12th! The Annual Trunk-or-Treat festivities will take place in the main school parking lot from 6:00-8:00 p.m. with Food Trucks, a Fire Truck, Trunk Decorating, Trunk-or-Treating and much more. The Early Childhood Harvest Party will take place in the Early Childhood wing and the Commons from 5:00-6:30 p.m.  Please check Sycamore for more information and to register. The late fee goes into effect on Monday, October 1. If you are attending but not planning on bringing your car you may bring candy donations to the school office. (We will have our class Harvest Party on Oct. 26th. Trunk-or-Treat is a Harvest Party where we share in fellowship with the whole school). You may attend both the annual main school parking lot event and come down to participate in the Early Childhood events or you might choose to just come to the Early Childhood events. Please let me know if you have any questions. I know this can be confusing if this is your first time.
  • Watch Sycamore to sign up for Parent-Teacher Conference times. Conferences will be held on Thursday, Oct. 18th. I am excited to meet with everyone to talk about what their child has been doing in Kindergarten! 
  • I sent home an updated class schedule. After spending some time with your children I decided some things needed to be switched around.  I changed a few things around within our schedule so that things work better for the students.
Looking ahead to next week:
  • Wednesday, Oct. 3rd is a half day for everyone and we will dismiss at 12:00. Half day kids will stay until 12 on that day. I will take my half day kids to the Sonshine Center side, like normal, for pick-up at 12:00 unless you let me know otherwise. 
Snapshots from the week:  STEAM... creating with function in mind! Assignment- create a paintbrush.
