Halloween Fun

The Miller School Halloween parade will be on Thursday, October 31^st at 1:35pm. On the day of the parade, students are welcome to bring costumes to school in a labeled bag.  As we will have limited time to change before the parade, please select costumes that can be put on over clothing. We also request that no masks, makeup, or weapons be sent to school as part of your child’s costume. 

It may be helpful to have two or three parent volunteers assist with costume changing. Please email me at hnewman@westfordk12.us if you would be willing to come in 15 minutes before and after the parade to help. Please remember that only those parents with CORI and confidentiality forms on file are able to volunteer.

Happy Halloween,

Mrs. Newman

Scholastic Ordering

November Scholastic Book Catalogs are going home today! I will be putting in our next order on November 1st.

Even though I am sending home the SeeSaw Kindergarten Catalog, please feel free to order from other catalogs by clicking "shop by flyer" or browsing other grade level flyers.

Also, some parents have asked how they may donate books to the classroom through Scholastic. As you are ordering books online, you may see the words "Buy from Class Wish List (1 remaining)" under some book titles. I update the Class Wish List each month.

Living Lab

Dear Parents,

We will be visiting the Living Lab at the Day School on Tuesday, October 22nd. We will take a bus from the Miller School leaving at 9:15 and return back around 11:00. I thought I sent home permission slips weeks ago, but realized I didn't when I went looking for them today. Woops!! Please sign your child's permission slip going home today and return it to me ASAP.

Thank you,
Mrs. Newman

Special Guest Reader

We had a very special guest reader today! Ask your child about the story that Lily's big sister, Sierra, read to us. It was about her visit to Fenway Park and the Green Monster.

Thank you for visiting our classroom Sierra!

Scholastic Book Orders

I submitted the September Scholastic book order today. I will be submitting the October order on the 11th, as I want any Halloween books ordered to come in before the holiday.

Mini Chart

This week I sent home a mini Lively Letter chart as a resource for the children to use while completing homework. The children may refer to this chart while coloring the characters at home. Please keep this resource somewhere safe to be reused each week.

If there are any questions about homework, please feel free to email me at hnewman@westfordk12.us

 

Reward Day

We filled our classroom marble jar! This means we have been great listeners, followed directions, and have been super kind! As a reward, room 110 is having its very own pajama day. Friday October 4^th, everyone in room 110 may wear their favorite pair of PJ’s to school! Also, to celebrate our special day, the students may bring in a special stuffed animal friend. This special stuffed animal friend should be able to fit inside a backpack.
