Dear Parents,

Hello and Happy Halloween! The children have a busy week with Halloween on Monday and French Night on Wednesday. Consequently, I will send one homework only this week and that will be on Tuesday night.

DRIVERS NEEDED: Michelle requests one more driver for our trip to Hooper Institute on Friday. Thank you Collin and Ray for driving on that day. Michelle also needs one more volunteer to drive to Thompson House on Tuesday, November 15. PLEASE CONTACT MICHELLE IF YOU ARE ABLE TO HELP WITH EITHER OF THESE DATES. We are all set for our November 10 trip to Grafton. THANKS EVERYONE, AND THANK YOU MICHELLE FOR ORGANIZING THIS.

Our trip on Friday will help introduce our next theme of study. Hooper Institute in Walpole offers a collection of 150 plus years old logging and farming tools and household gadgets- all of which the children will have the opportunity to use. We will leave school at 8:35 and return by 12:45. It is my hope that we can enjoy a picnic lunch but of course as I write this there is a steady snowfall accumulating outside the window. Regardless, I am hopeful, so please, on Friday, help your third grader dress in layers and pack a “bag lunch”. Many thanks!

Finally, it is our turn to collect non-perishable goods for the Putney Food Shelf during the month of November. I will have a box in our classroom for donated items. Again, thank you.

Have a great day.

Sincerely,
Linda
