Dear Families, Doesn't the school look terrific? The Halloween decorations out in front of the school are just wonderful! I know our first graders are excited for Halloween... and our first Show and Tell using the EET (Expanding Expression Tool) to describe our Halloween costume this Friday! The students are growing and learning so much. I continue to be so proud of them! Halloween Party Thank you so much to Julie Harrell, Christina Hartley and Katie Vance for bravely volunteering to run a station at our first grade Halloween party! The students are super excited (so am I!) Just a reminder that Wardlaw students will not be dressing in costumes this Halloween, but themed clothing and accessories are encouraged. I just ordered a "Trick or TEACH" t-shirt to wear that day :-) Enjoy the Slideshow Photos!
Fire Prevention presentation via ZOOM October is Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Month. After having some good discussions following our Scholastic News article last week, I reached out to my dear college friend Jeff Jones who is the Lieutenant Fire Chief out in Breckenridge, Colorado. He and his crew of firefighters did an AWESOME job presenting about fire safety via Zoom. Enjoy the photos and ask your first grader if they were able to ask Lieutenant Jones a question and what he answered! For example, one student asked, "Have you ever saved an animal?" and he told us a story of saving a baby moose! I'd love to send the fire crew a thank you gift from our class. I asked Jeff what their favorite candy was out there in Breckenridge and he said REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS. I've asked the students to save a couple pieces of their Halloween candy for the firefighters and we'll send a package out there after Halloween! Homework due tomorrow (10/26) (click here for a link to the Homework cover page for this week)
