Healthy Snacks and Sharing Our Favorite Books
My thanks to everyone who contributed to our healthy Halloween snacks. The children enjoyed the special treat and some even used everyday bravery and tried a sunflower seed (harvested from Gavin's 1st grade sunflower plant), hummus or a new vegetable. As always, snuggling in with a great book is a wonderful way to end our week of learning.
All School Meeting-Acts Of Kindness
On Wednesday morning, we participated in our first All School Meeting of the year. The focus of the meeting was on kindness to ourselves, our school community and our families. The children will be reading Have You Filled Your Bucket Today? A Guide to Daily Happiness For Kids by Carol McCloud and will commit to an act of kindness. Our acts of kindness will be displayed on a rainbow in the dining hall. The kindergarteners sang a song about peace. The assembly ended with a song by the string jam.
The Halloween Parade
We had a wonderful time sharing our Halloween costumes with the Cutler community. After, the parade, we participated in Drop Everything And Move. The 5th graders did a wonderful job leading us in routines to The Monster Mash and Thriller.

Please encourage your child to choose from these sections in IXL for part of their practice session.
Geometry
RAZ kids and IXL
Just a reminder that the children have access to IXL (for math practice) and RAZ Kids for reading/comprehension practice at home. Please let me know if you have difficulty accessing either site or have questions about the two programs. Please encourage the children to read/listen to each story carefully and to complete the comprehension questions for the stories.
Here are the two links:
