Week of October 23, 2017                         
        This week will be another busy and fun week.  The children will go to the fire station on Friday and have a fall party when they come back.  All children will have a plastic pumpkin.  ( I have already purchased these plastic pumpkins.)  If you would allow your child to bring something to put in each of their classmates plastic pumpkin it would be appreciated.  Some examples would be a small bag of candy, pencil, toy, etc..  Our room mothers will send a list of items we will need for the party soon. The children will enjoy making crafts on Friday before the party.
