It's been another super week. The kids and I are getting very excited about our first field trip next week; they've been learning and writing lots about pumpkins in preparation. Be sure to stop by the classroom to check out some of their fantastic work.
Here is what we have coming up:
Important Dates
Friday, 10/14: Jog-a-thon pledges due. In order to be eligible for prizes, please be sure to bring envelopes to school by no later than THIS MORNING!
Thursday, 10/20: first field trip to Dave's Pumpkin Patch in West Sac. Thank you to our 10 parents who have volunteered to chaperone. Please look for an email about this early next week. We will leave on the bus at 9am and return by 12:30 pm. Please send your child to school with a bag lunch, as we will be eating at Dave's
Saturday, 10/22: Phoebe Hearst Harvest Festival, 3-6:30 pm. Come in costume and have lots of fun with friends playing games, eating spaghetti dinner, and getting spooked in the haunted house. Please be sure to volunteer some of your time in our Room 4 booth as well.
Friday, 10/28: Phoebe Hearst Jog-a-Thon. I will let parents know our scheduled running time as soon as I get it. All parents are welcome to cheer us on as we run at this fun event. This is a free dress day; please send your child in clothes appropriate for running.
Monday, 10/31: Halloween. We do not wear costumes to school! However this is a crazy sock and orange and black spirit day, so check the sock drawers and go crazy!
We will have a small celebration during the last hour of class. The kids will make some crafts and have a snack. If you would like to help out, please let me know.

We are continuing to work on learning about pumpkins. On Monday I will carve a pumpkin so we can check out the insides. We will then conduct an experiment to see what happens when a pumpkin rots. The kids love this!
