Here are new spelling words for this week. Great job on your spelling tests Grade Ones! I can definitely tell you are practicing at home.  Photo re-takes will be on Wednesday at 9 am. Please send a note with your child if you would like retakes. If you would like to order photos, please send your order forms in as soon as possible.  On Thursday, October 29, we will be celebrating Halloween as a class after lunch. If students are participating by wearing costumes, students must bring their costumes to school and they will put their costume on after lunch. Students must still wear a mask while they wear their costume. Please do not have your child wear their costume to school in the morning. Students do not have to wear a costume.   This year, we can not bring in food to share during our "class parties". Instead, students may bring an extra special snack for themselves to eat during our class party. Please do not send candy with your child to school.   Keep...
