We are looking forward to the Halloween party tomorrow. Please remember that the children do not wear costumes. They are very excited about Halloween.

We have learned about some animals that you sometimes think about around Halloween. Mrs. Sheldon brought Bob the Bat (a puppet) to visit last week and share some information about bats. We learned that bats are mammals and eat insects. We talked about owls and how they swallow their food whole then cough up what is not digested. Owls also have very good hearing and eye sight and can fly very quietly. We spent the last couple days on spiders. Spiders are not insects because they have eight legs and only two body parts. All spiders spin silk and use it to catch food, build nests and make egg sacs.

Don't forget that next Thursday, November 5th is Open House. Our room will be open from 5:30-6:30. The children will show you some work they do while they are here. We hope to see you then.
