Hello Parents:

We would like to thank Christine (Ruth’s mother) and Sarah (Will’s mother) for helping out on Thursday when both Ms. Martinez and I were out.  We really appreciate it!

We are still exploring gourds and are now moving onto the exploration of leaves.  We will be doing lots of outdoor exploration this week (weather permitting).  If you come across any interesting gourds please bring them in to add to our collection. 

Ray’s Family Math Night will be on Thursday October 22nd from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.  Please plan to attend I am hosting the pre-k and kindergarten section of the night.  The activities will give you insight on how math is taught in Pre-k and throughout Ray School.

Please be sure to turn in your TB test as soon as you have the results.  We will have two field trips (TBA) in November and we will need lots of volunteers.   

The Ray Literacy Parade will be held on Friday, October 30th at 10:00 a.m.  Please let me know if you can stay and help out- we will have all 40 children in attendance from 9-11:30 on that day, so we will need all the help we can get.  

Please remember to check the snack schedule and bring snack on your assigned day.  We would also like to remind parents that we do have nut, gelatin, (this is in most fruit snacks- so please do not send fruit snacks as a snack) and milk allergies in our class.  Please do not send ANY snack with the above ingredients or any peanuts and any other type of tree nut.  We want to ensure that all of the children are eating safe snacks.

Dates to Remember:
Thursday, October 22nd –Math Night 6-7:30
Friday, October 23rd- No School
Friday, October 30th- Pre-K Literacy Parade- 10:00 a.m.

Thank You,

Ms. Bethanie and Ms. Martinez
