Wow...what a crazy week we are having!! As you know this week is homecoming week so we've been having dress up days each day. Monday was jersey day/favorite team day and I must say we had a LOT of Minnesota Vikings fans in our room, including myself. Your child might have told you, but last night Nick and I were at the game. What an experience...Packer/Viking fans are CRAZY!! It was a ton of fun and I'm glad I had the chance to go to the game. Today was pink day and we had a lot of cancer supporters in our classroom...thanks!
Wednesday is going to be a chaotic day! First it is hat day so if your child wants he/she may wear a hat in school. In the morning we have an assembly in our gym about "Strength Training". I'm excited and curious to see what we will learn and to see how it ties into our Character Counts curriculum. After lunch we go to the fire station. This week is Fire Prevention Week and 2nd graders get the opportunity to walk to the fire station and take a tour. Please make sure you child is dressed appropriately.
Thursday is athletic clothes day (sweatshirts, running pants, etc...). The reason for athletic clothes is because Thursday is also our 1st Fall Fitness Day. The goal is to encourage kids to be more active. We are going to be paired up with another classroom and also a HS teacher and we will be walking/exercising at different stations. We will be walking from 2:20 until about 3:00. The theme for this is "Keep a positive attitude! Keep your bodies moving! Have fun!" I am very excited for this and think it's a very good idea to encourage a healthy lifestyle for children. Please be sure your child wears tennis shoes on Thursday.
Friday is the BIG day!! We have a 3 hour early out so students and families can attend the parade that starts at 2:30. In the morning we will have a pep assembly at the HS stadium. The jr. high cheerleaders will lead up in cheers and activities to get us pumped up for the big game.
Go Cadets!!
