Upcoming Events:

Parent/Teacher Conferences:
The week of October 7-11 is Parent/Teacher Conferences.  My Conferences are extremely easy and short!  We will go over your child’s beginning-of-the-year developmental testing and set goals for them if necessary.  Conferences are a great time to ask any questions you have about curriculum, our daily schedule, or pretty much anything you’ve been wondering about!  The times available will be posted outside the classroom.  If these times conflict with your schedule but you would still like to come in, please see me and we can find a time to work you in! 

Spirit Week:  
October 21-25 is Spirit Week at UCD!  Spirit week days are as follows: 
            Monday – Animal Day
Come dressed as your favorite animal (or any animal costume you may have). Remember, t-shirts with animals on them work, too!
            Tuesday – Masquerade/Hidden Identity
Masks! Face paint! "Mask" your identity for this dress up day!
            Wednesday – Decade Dress Up
Choose a decade, any decade for this dress up day!  Wild West? Medieval lords and ladies?  Groovy 60s?  The possibilities are endless!
            Thursday – Career Day
What do YOU want to be when you grow up?
            Friday – Washburn Pride Day
Show your support for our very own Ichabods by donning your navy blue and white.

Trick-or-Treat!
Thursday, October 31st we will be taking the entire school to Washburn to trick-or-treat around campus.  Your child will need their Halloween costume, comfortable shoes, any weather appropriate additions to their costumes (for instance, tights under a dress or a jacket for a chilly morning), and a large/strong trick-or-treat bag. 
 
We request that all pieces of your child’s costume are properly marked with their names or initials to avoid loss and/or mix-ups, and I personally would like to ask that all costumes are sent to school in their own separate bag. 
 
We will change into our costumes after breakfast and leave as soon as everyone is ready. We will return to the school in time for lunch and naptime will proceed as usual.  Parents are WELCOME to come and help out!  The more adults we have to help corral our little ones, the less chaotic and more fun the trip!
