Hi Chickadee Dot families!
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…today sure got cold quickly didn’t it? Thank-you for sending your child to school dressed for the weather. With the cold weather approaching, mittens, fleeces, warm jackets, rain boots or winter boots are encouraged and necessary as we go outside for over an hour each day!
Just a few things to tell you:
Birthday Celebrations.... The school policy has been established and we have decided that with allergies and being mindful of healthy eating, we are asking that there will be no “treats” brought into the school. Stickers and pencils are welcome but to keep things safe and simple, we decided that food is unnecessary at school. I promise, we will make your child feel special with a song, crown, pencil and lots of “TLC” on his/her special day.
School celebrations: (Christmas/Winter Holiday, Valentine’s and End of the year gatherings)… fruits and vegetables and healthy choices are welcomed and we will organize food closer to the date of the parties. Thank-you for your cooperation with this!
3. Halloween….Is fast approaching! We will be celebrating Halloween on Monday, October 31st.If you would like (This is Optional and not mandatory) please send your child to school in his/her Halloween costume. We are asking that accessories like swords, guns and or masks please stay at home.
Please also send in a plastic bag to put your child’s costume in. We will be doing a parade within the school, doing the “Monster Mash” dance and having some craft/story/activity rotations amongst the Kindergarten team! It will be SPOOOOOOCTACULAR! :) We will be staying away from “scary” parts of Halloween, focussing on jack-o-lantern’s, dressing up in costumes etc! No witches, ghosts or….clowns!
We are also asking this:…. please do not send any candy in your child’s lunch after Halloween! We know this will be a challenge because let’s face it, everyone loves candy! However, we have decided as a school that healthy eating is important for our mind and body and good nutrition is needed! All candy is best to stay at home! Thank-you, thank-you!
One more thing: can you please send in a 250 mL mason jar for a special Halloween craft?
Please send them in as soon possible and are due for the activity by next Thursday, October 20th. Thank-you!!! Our special activity will take a few days to do so the earlier the better! Thank-you! If you cannot send one in, please let me know and I can take care of bringing some in.
Thank-you so much for reading and all of your support as always!
Ms. Jo-Anne
