I hope everyone survived the Halloween weekend and didn't eat too much candy!  We're back to our regular schedule here at school and this week we began our science unit "Force and Motion" with the K4 class.    So far we've talked about how living AND nonliving things move.  What makes them move?  What are some words that describe how things move?  We'll be experimenting a little more this week with gravity as well.  How does this affect things moving?

St. Joe's student council is sponsoring a food drive for the Muskego Food Pantry.  It will run from November 4th-18th.  They are running this in a contest format.  They will be averaging out the amount of goods collected with the amount of students in each wing.  First prize is a dress down day! 

Please save the date of Tuesday, November 26th for our K4/K5 prayer service and feast.  Details are still being finalized, however the date is set.  Each child is allowed to bring 2 adults.  Watch for more information to come!  We will be looking for parents to help us out with set-up, possible preparation of food, serving, and clean-up.  Let me know if you'd be willing to help out!

The weather is getting colder now, and before you know it, the snow will be upon us.  Please make sure that your child has gloves, a hat and a warm coat for recess time.  A great thing to practice at home is zipping jackets and tying shoes.  As you can imagine, these little details take lots of extra minutes in our day.  Especially when we get into those snow pants, etc!
