Mr. Peterman's Update for October 6- 10

Dear Parents,

    Another week has past and it sure does feel like fall. Please remember to send your son or daughter dressed for the weather. We do periodically go out and catch some fresh air or even go for a walk. I want to be sure the kids have proper clothing so they don't get cold. This Friday you should have received a picture calendar of events to occur during the month of October. These events are all planned and are part of our activities during October.

     Please be sure to send a towel and swim suit on the days we swim.  Also be sure to send a sack lunch every Wednesday through the end of October. This has worked really well and the kids like this for a change. Our swimming will last for another 3 weeks and then we will begin skating. I am unsure of the exact date but it usually starts in November and goes for 8 weeks.
     As I continue to send out posts I hope you are reading them. the posts have alot of information in them and it helps you to prepare your son or daughter for the week. Please be sure to remind your son or daughter that our events are a privilege and they need to earn their time. also be sure to check the notebooks for the day. these notebooks can help you stimulate conversation of what has happened during the day. This is also a good way to communicate to me or the assistants if there is something we need to take note of.
     Also I want to remind you again of my policy in regards to picking up students at school. Please be sure to send me a note or an email early enough so I don't put your son or daughter on their bus. If I don't see a note then my procedure is to send them home on their bus. this is only because at times my students don't want to ride the bus and they tell me yo are picking them up. Sometimes the information is incorrect .If this happens then they miss their bus. for some of you Sparta is a long drive so I want to be sure this doesn't happen. If yohave any questions please let me know.
