Hello Parents:

We would like to thank all of the families who came out on a dreary night to our Family Math Night!!!  

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.   

We have our first couple of field trips coming up next month.  On November 5th we will go to Shedd’s Aquarium.  Ms. Jane’s and Ms. Nikki’s pre-k class will be joining us as well.  We will leave promptly at 9:00 a.m.  We would like everyone to be here by 8:45 a.m. that morning.  We will return to Ray by noon. We will need lots of volunteers, so please let me know if you will be able to assist.  We will eat lunch at the aquarium.  I will send home field trip expectations next week.  Please read them carefully.

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:
Friday, October 30th- Pre-K Literacy Parade- 10:00 a.m.
-	All students attend from 9 to11:30 there will be no class that afternoon.  
-	November 5th- field trip to the aquarium be at school promptly at 8:45 am.  We will leave promptly at 9:00 am

Thank You,

Ms. Bethanie and Ms. Martinez
