Thank you to everyone for attending parent-teacher conferences last week!  It was nice to have a chance to sit down and talk about your child!  I always look forward to sharing progress and learning more from you about your child. 

Remember, there is a half-day on Friday, November 1.

Book orders are coming home in Friday folders this week.  They are due by Monday, November 18th if you are interested.  Remember, if you send in the paper copy of the order, please send payment in the form of a check or money order.  They do not accept cash through the mail.  You are also able to order online with a credit card.  Keep in mind that books make great gifts and Christmas is just around the corner!  There are many great deals in the catalogs this month.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween!

Fire Safety

This week we learned about fire safety!  We were able to visit with firefighters, watch a fire safety video, and meet Jake the Fire Safety Dog!

Jake taught us some important things today, including how to:

* Fall & crawl under smoke
* Whisper (inside voice vs. outside voice)


The fire fighters taught us:

* Get out & stay out if there is a fire
* Know two ways out of every room in your house
* Stop, drop & roll if your clothing catches on fire
