Hallowe’en Guidelines
- YES, wear a costume if you wish! It’s fun!
- NO masks or weapons please
- Your costume should be comfortable and safe!
- You must be able to walk to and from the Sagebrush- leave a hat or accessory at school if you wish
- Make-up is okay, but will it be itchy? Can you wear it all day comfortably?
- Wigs are okay, but are you comfortable wearing it all day?
- Please don’t scare anyone who doesn’t want to be terrified! Be kind. A little bit spooky is okay.
- NO please do NOT send candy to school in lunch and snack bags in the days following Hallowe’en. Eating candy does not usually support learning in the classroom.
This week:
- Our focus in French is the sound ‘en’ as in enveloppe
- We are working with Hallowe’en words
- We are learning about Alberta
- We learned about the importance of bison to First Nations in Alberta in the past
- We will be drawing and painting art cards later this week. You may wish to talk to your child about a possible theme for the card! A favourite animal or object, a birthday or Winter scene, an image for thank-you cards. Later in the fall, you may purchase a set of your child’s cards. This is a fundraising project as proceeds will go to the school. Cards usually arrive before Christmas.
Working with words, Hallowe’en style!
