Halloween Boo-gie-a-thon
We are super-excited for our upcoming Halloween Boo-gie-a-thon on Monday, October 31st! Please send your child to school dressed in a comfortable, non-violent, mask-less costume. Or, if you prefer, dressed in orange and black.We will be dancing in the gym from 9:30 to 10:05 am. Parents are welcome to attend.
Halloween Treats
Each child participating in the Boo-gie-a-thon will receive a nut-free treat. If you are planning to send in treats for your child's classmates, please be advised that only
NON-FOOD ITEMS are permitted.
Also, we request that Halloween sugary treats such as candy and chocolates be enjoyed at home only. Chips are an acceptable special treat for school.
Thank you for your understanding!
We Scare Hunger Food Drive
St. Andrew's is collecting non-perishable food items between October 27th and November 4th. Please send in a donation of a non-perishable food item. The act of giving helps reinforce that "sharing is caring" and that we are all part of God's family.
Pumpkin Inquiry
Our young learners have been investigating pumpkins this past week. We have explored their size, shape and texture. We discovered that there are 534 seeds in one pumpkin. We have also learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin. This inquiry has provided students with opportunities to ask questions, measure, count (by tens and ones) and express their learning through various arts and crafts.
PAT Time
Next week's letter is "T". Our students are gaining confidence in presenting, especially with at home practice!
Chime-In
A new feature of this blog will be our "Chime-In" poems, chants and songs. These are rhymes and songs you have likely heard at home. Please have your child share these with you.
Three Black Cats
Three black cats, three black cats,
In black hats, in black hats,
They all jumped into the Halloween brew.
They teased the ghosts and the goblins too!
Have you ever seen such a hullabaloo?
On Halloween, on Halloween!!!
