We learned about pumpkins this month. Kids went on a "virtual field trip" of a pumpkin patch. We tried some new pumpkin treats provided by the cafeteria and Baker Blair helped make them. It was so fun.

Parents will not be able to attend this party. We will be in and out of our rooms all day. We trick or treat at the middle school, high school and elementary. In the afternoon we go to the Votech at Kansas.
For our party please send individually wrapped snacks and candy. You can also send chips and dip, cookies and drinks. Plan for 13. I will provide plates and napkins. We will be snacking on these items throughout the day.
(Remember costumes cannot be scary or bloody, and please do not send plastic weapons to school.)
Thanks to a generous donation, Kindergarten received a free book from the book fair.

My class has been using a new program called Amira top increase their reading skills. I will be discussing their progress during conferences. Here is a little information about it, to help you understand what it is and how to help your child. Login is: Colcord Elementary, 2nd row: your child's first and last name (no spaces) and the third row is Hornets38.
It is so important to educate your child about fire safety. Make an escape plan...talk about a meeting place...pets...etc. This is a great little video to get you started educating your child about the dangers involved with fires.
