Hello Families!
This next week we will be ending October with Halloween on Monday. Your children are invited to wear their Halloween costumes as we will be visiting our administration and school offices to Trick or Treat :)
Picture Day is this week! Dress your little ones for picture day Thursday November 3rd, (order form was sent home Friday, please fill out and enclose payment, send to school as soon as possible)
There is no school Friday November 4th as it is a professional development day for teachers and staff.
Reminder that our field trip to the Raymond Alf Museum of Paleontology is coming up November 9th!
There is also no school on Friday November 11th in observance of Veteran's Day.
In addition there will be no school the week of November 21st thru 25th in observance of Thanksgiving Break.
We have lots to work on and do for the next 3 weeks before the Thanksgiving break...check this blog for more pictures and news!

Weekly Newsletter for the Week of October 17, 2016
Hello Families!
In lieu of a traditional field trip to the pumpkin patch, I have made arrangements for a field trip to the Raymond Alf Museum of Paleontology in Claremont for Tuesday October 25th. Permission slips will be sent home on Monday, for this fun and exciting child friendly trip, the cost is $6 per student. Visit the website at:
http://www.alfmuseum.org
Cooler Weather:
Since the evening temperatures are dropping, the swimming pool will no longer be heated. Look for swim suits, life jackets and towels to be sent home this week. We will resume our swim schedule in the late Spring when weather warms up again!
This week School Menu is Cycle 3!
More pictures of this past week's learning:
Cooperative learning, turn taking skills
Language Arts, Rhyming Words
Language Arts, Reading, Decoding Skills
Counting, adding and decomposing numbers
Each child is a blessing, and learning is reciprocal, they learn from us and we learn from them, it's a beautiful dance that we celebrate each day! Thank you families for all that you do to help your child to be successful on your home front, I appreciate you all and our commitment to our children!

Snapshots of this Week's Applesauce!
Yes, we finally did it, sometimes the process takes a little longer than expected, but it turned out great! Here are some pics of the process and the final product!
This simple recipe was previously posted in the 10-3 Weekly Newsletter, however I cut the recipe in half and there was plenty for all to enjoy!

Happy Monday Families!
...One of the many stories and songs we will be doing at Circle Time...The children love these and Pete the Cat is a favorite character! Your local library is a great resource for books for the season as well as story time, check out their schedules!
*This week's menu is cycle 2, you can find the details in the School Menu Cycles tab.
Last Friday we had a grand time at our annual Haunted House and Fall Fair, thank you families who attended and hope you had a wonderful time!
This week we will be finishing up with our apple unit...and finally making that apple sauce!
Important Question from a family about emergency preparedness:
If there is a real disaster such as an earthquake or a fire on campus, who contacts us parents/families and where do we pick up our children?
Answer:
If there is a real disaster situation such as an earthquake, I, Donna, will call/text you to inform you if you need to pick up your child. Families meeting to pick up children at school must sign the child out prior to leaving campus. If you are not able to do this, it must be indicated on your child's emergency packet, the names of those persons you authorize to pick up your child. If you are not sure that you have updated this information, please contact me and I will send home a new form for you to update.
In case of a fire and we evacuate the school, we meet at the McDonald's/Kohls parking lot at Fruit Street and Foothill Blvd. in La Verne.
Parents/families will be notified by phone call or text by me, Donna, and you will have to follow the sign out procedure outlined above. Again if you are not able to pick up your child you must indicate in writing, those persons you authorize to pick up your child.
As always, please check your child's backpack for flyer information, read the communication log daily, and for those children who wear diapers, please send diapers and wipes weekly. It is also beneficial to send a full spare set of clothing including socks and underwear in the backpack in case of spills or other type accidents.
Each day, minute, week is a joy and a pleasure to be your child's teacher. Thank you families for all your support and love!
Donna :)
