It's the week of Halloween!  This is always a fun week, but please help your child to 

also remember that school is a learning place (even on Halloween). 

 Costumes at LGMS can go on at lunch time Wednesday in preparation for our parade of costumes in the gym at 1:00.  We really don't need much for snacks, but if you are wanting to send something, please let me know ahead of time and consider healthy snacks and individually portioned things (we don't have a supply of plates, cups or cutlery in the classroom).

Often the days following Halloween are the biggest struggle for students that might have been up late the night before, or have been eating a lot of candy.  You can help your child to remain successful all week by setting a reasonable bedtime, and limiting the amount of sugary treats coming to school (and balancing those with healthy foods too :)

This week:

Monday: Please see Parent-Teacher-Student interview time forms coming home tonight.  Return these paper copies, or reply to the email sent this morning to book your time.

Wednesday: Costumes in the afternoon -  1:00 Halloween parade.  Grade 4-6 dance until 2:15 in the gym.

Thursday: Reading records are due.  Parents, before signing your child's reading record,  please take a look at the details that they are able to provide on these pages.  The greater the details, the more that I can tell they are understanding from their own novel choices.  These marks go towards reading comprehension this year. 

Friday: Spelling test (the spelling homework assignment this week is #4, also due on Friday)

Tomorrow is our turn for our LGMS health day!

A few things that students need:

• a small plastic cup for our smoothie session to help us reduce waste
• bike and helmet for our bike safety session (or arrange to borrow from someone in a different class)
• Activity specific gear 
• Trail running - appropriate outside clothing for the weather, good runners, water bottle if wanted
• Cross fit - gym shoes and clothing
• Yoga - yoga mat and clothing that moves (leggings or sweatpants, not jeans :)
• Community bike - bike, helmet and appropriate clothing for the weather 

Thank you!  If you have some time to come by and join us for part, or all, of the day please do!

What an exciting week we have! 
Once again I'm also looking for volunteers - this time to help with our Health days this coming Thursday and Friday.  We need smoothie makers, bike safety specialists and runners and bikers for the afternoon activity session.  Please let me know if you're interested and can help out.

Monday - students need to complete their poetry review tonight.  The most important things: make sure the answer fits the questions, gives as much detail as possible and includes quotes from the poem to support the answer. 

Tuesday - bus safety class

Wednesday - lockdown practice.  We have talked about this in class but it's always good to talk about why we practice this (just like a fire drill) at home as well in case there are any more questions or concerns that come up.

Thursday

Friday - Math weekly #3 is due.   Morning health sessions.  After lunch student activity choice session.
