The spelling test will take place on October 30th due to Halloween Centers on the morning of the 31st. Please study and be ready!!

Halloween Centers will take place Friday, October 31 from 9:30 am until 11:00 am.  We are in need of some items in order to be able to do these centers.  If you would like to donate any of these items, please let me know.  I'll also be doing a "Sign-Up Genius" so everyone can see what's been spoken for.


The following list are things we'll need for the Halloween Centers:

• 6-7 volunteers to spend from 9:30 am to 11:00 am with us in the classroom for centers only.  I only have one mom right now.  I need more!
• Small bag of wood craft spoons - at least 50 count.
• Small bag of Popsicle sticks - at least 100 count.
• 2 square yards of muslin fabric to make Mini Mummies
• 1 bag of mini all-temperature glue sticks for a small glue gun 
• 23 chocolate pudding snack cups
• Gummy worms - at least 50 count
• 1 package of family size Oreos
• 2 or 3 bottles of food coloring in Halloween Colors.  Bring in leftovers from your own pantry if you want!
• 2 bags of regular colored candy corn
• 2 big bags of popcorn, already popped.  Check Costco.
• 1 small pumpkin (to fit in a 5-gallon bucket, for an experiment)
• 1 medium pumpkin (for estimating and studying)
• 1 bag of pumpkin seeds so the kids will be able to try a few 

** Pumpkins and Seeds need to be at the school on Monday morning! **

Thank you for all the help you always give.  I have a super-wonderful class - my kids and their adults!!
