Good Afternoon Wonderful Families!
We had a fantastic start to a great week ahead! Tomorrow is our field trip to Tranquility Farms- a very important reminder letter went home today in homework folders. If you did not receive this reminder, I have posted it below at the end of this message as well. We will NOT be having bootcamp tomorrow, letter J will be on Thursday.
A letter about our Halloween party also went home today. We are requesting that each family please donate one small package of at least 20 prizes for our class goody bags. Our room moms will be compiling the prizes for us and we are asking for all donations to be in by Friday October 26th. Thanks so much!
Mr. Dunnigan has asked me to mention to you all that unfortunately there has been several cases of Fifth’s Disease going around in our class. The nurse was out today but there will be a more detailed letter from her going home this week. We have been working very hard on keeping the classroom clean, washing our hands/using hand sanitizer, not putting things in our mouth and properly covering our mouths when we cough or sneeze. Unfortunately germs like this are stubborn and spread so quickly no matter how hard we try. If your child is showing any symptoms (a major sign is fever but not every child will have a fever) please keep them home until they are cleared by the doctor. Once they develop a rash, they are no longer contagious and are allowed to return to school.
On Thursday we will be having our STS Walk-A-Thon in the morning at 9:00 am.
This week we will not be adding any new popcorn words since we have a short week and our field trip this week.
We will be reviewing the 9 words we have learned thus far.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable trip, please remind your child that during this trip they must:
-obey instructions of teachers, parents, supervisors, and bus drivers
- remain with his/her assigned group
-wear complete gym uniform (sneakers, sweatshirt, sweatpants/shorts, STS gym shirt)
-bring a brown bag lunch, including snacks and drinks, clearly marked with their name (NO GLASS PLEASE)
-Chaperones may purchase lunch at the farm if they please.
-Children may bring money for the ice cream & farm shop, but it must be in a sealed envelope with their name clearly marked so their chaperones may hold on to it until it is time to shop.
Thank you for your time, have a wonderful week!
Love & Prayers,
Mrs. Tironi
