Halloween Party



We will be having our Halloween Parade again this year at MES!  Please send your child's costume to school with him/her.  Students will put their costumes on right before the parade.  We don't have time to do hair, make-up, or anything extra.  Also, please remember that no weapons, blood, or scary costumes are allowed.  At 2:40, we'll begin the parade of costumes, and a short party will follow back in our classroom.  Parents are welcome to attend!

Money, Money, Money

          Our money unit has been a little more challenging than I anticipated this year.  I need your help at home.  Please spend some time counting spare change with your child.  I will continue to bring practice activities in as I can, but the bulk of our time to spend on money is nearly over.  
          If you allow your child to play online games, you might try www.abcya.com/counting_money.htm.  Thanks!

Rachel's Challenge

Tomorrow morning, MES students will go over to the high school for a presentation.  Rachel's Challenge is a program designed to build kindness and compassion in schools.  This program is brought to Yuma by the family of Rachel Scott, a student killed at Columbine High School in 1999.  Please visit with your child about the assembly tomorrow after school.

A community presentation will be held at the high school from 7:00-8:00 P.M. Thursday evening.
