Buckaroo news for September 16th!

WOW!!!  I apologize for the tardiness of this post on our classroom blog.  As you  know, the electric went out for the last hour of school on Friday and that is when we typically blog about our week together.  Below, you will see a couple of pictures from our learning last week.  Use them as conversation starters for you and your child.  

We will resume our postings of our week on Friday (barring any other calamities:).  

The main reason for today's post is two-fold.  The first is that tomorrow is fall picture day.  If you would like to purchase pictures for your child, just follow the directions on the handout that is coming home tonight.  Several of you have already sent in your envelopes.  I have them and will get them to the photographer.

Secondly, this Saturday is National Talk-Like-A-Pirate Day.  Since we will not be at school, I would like to celebrate this day on Friday.  Your child may dress as a pirate on Friday if he/she wishes to do so.  We will be engaging in many fun (and educational) activities throughout the day.  My plan is to hide some "pirate booty" somewhere in the school.  If you would like to donate something for our "booty" that is not food-related please feel free to do so.  Just send in in a bag tomorrow or Friday morning and I will add it to the loot.  Thank you ahead of time for helping out with this.  This has always been a very popular day for Camp Buckaroo!

Specials Schedule:
