Another reminder about HALLOWEEN TREATS: If you send treats for the class, please send either non-edible goodies such as pencils, or a healthy treat, such as raisins or granola bars.
The HALLOWEEN PARTY is scheduled for Wednesday, 10/31 at 1:30. At 1:15, students will participate in the traditional PV school parade of costumes. Students will be changing into their costumes in the classrooms. Costumes might need to be simplified for school purposes, since students must be able to change in a short amount of time. Changing will take place in the classrooms. The fifth grade will have designated classrooms for girls to change in and for boys. Washrooms will be NOT available for changing. No weapons, even fake, are allowed at school.
MEET YOSHI...
This week our class welcomed a new member...a bearded dragon named "Yoshi". The students have enjoyed learning about our new "student", and taking turns caring for him. We are providing "foster" care for him until the end of the year, when he will return to his owner. Yoshi enjoys a diet of greens, crickets, and mealworms. If you would like more information about bearded dragons, please refer to the following website:
Enjoy your three day weekend…
