10/2 Classroom Update!

September flew by, and I am so excited for all that October has to offer! I have included information below about Spirit Week, Picture Day, our field trip, and Halloween parties. Please check out our classroom calendar below for important dates, our letters of the week, and classroom themes as well.

Spirit Week: This coming week (October 5-9), we will participate in a spirit week for EGR Homecoming! Each day, students may dress up in the following themes:

      - Monday: Pajama Day

      - Tuesday: Dress up as your favorite character

      - Wednesday: Mix & Match Clothes

      - Thursday: Favorite Sports Team

      - Friday: Show your EGR Spirit - Wear blue and gold and/or East clothing

Picture Day: Picture Day will be Tuesday, October 13th. The morning class will have their pictures taken at 9:00 am, and the afternoon class will have their pictures taken at 1:30 pm. Picture Day make-ups will take place on November 11th. 

Field Trip: On Thursday, October 15th, we will be going to Schwallier's Country Basket to taste apples, pick a pumpkin, and pet farm animals. There is a fee of $5 per child and adult attending. Please return the permission form and field trip money by Friday, October 9th. 

On the day of the field trip, please bring booster seats pre-labeled with your child's name. Your child should also be dressed in layered clothing and boots for potentially muddy conditions. 

Halloween Parties: Halloween parties will be held on October 29th (for the PM class) and October 30th (for the AM class) during the last 45 minutes of class. Our afternoon party on October 29th will run from 2:30-3:15 pm, and our morning party on October 30th will run from 10:30-11:15 am, Students may wear their Halloween costumes on the day of the party as we will continue the tradition of a Halloween parade through the Administrative side of the building before our Halloween parties begin.

We are looking for parent volunteers to join in on the fun at our Halloween parties. For each class, we are looking for parents to read Halloween books, bring a snack, bring a drink, plan/bring a craft, and plan/bring a game. Below are links to sign-up to help with the AM & PM parties.
