The First-Fourth Graders celebrated the end of Leadership Week with a field trip on the Wendella Boat Architecture Tour.  You should all be so proud of your children.  I was at the end of the line as we were leaving the boat, and the captain said we had the best behaved and nicest children he has seen in a long time.






October 19 PUMPKIN CARVING NIGHT: This is one of Lower School's favorite events.  We all have dinner, choose a pumpkin, carve a wonderful jack-o-lantern, and enjoy each others' company. Look for the invitation 

  
ROYCEMORE SWAG/GEAR: Please visit our online store at  www.roycemoreschool.org/schoolstore  to get wonderful items to wear and use.  I know you will all love what the RFA has chosen.  Then everyone can wear your swag on October 3, Roycemore Day.  It is the 103 anniversary of the opening of our school. We hope to see you all at the Pep Rally 8:45-9:15 a.m. You should have received an invitation from the RFA.


  BOOK FAIR HELP NEEDED!
The book fair is coming  December 10-14, and we need help to organize it!  The Roycemore Book Fair is an excellent opportunity to encourage our students' love and appreciation of awesome books!  Ms. Fisher is looking for parents to help organize the fair, and for one person to be a co-chair.  No experience necessary, just a willingness to help!  If you love books, this is a dream come true!

All proceeds from the book fair benefits the media center and allows us to purchase books, audio books, and other materials that matter to students.

Please contact Ms. Fisher ASAP at kfisher@roycemoreschool.org.  Thank you in advance for your help!


PICTURES THIS WEEK: I will be putting a lot of pictures on the blog at different places, but there will always be more at the bottom of the blog. 

  1.  Our Pre-Kindergarten and Junior Kindergarten classes are so enriched. We have the ideal "play based program." The children think they are playing, but oh are they learning so much! The JKers are categorizing, which is a math skill, while the PK kids are learning their letter sounds with Zoo Phonics.  Again they are think they are playing, but they are learning so much.


2. As part of Leadership Week, our Second Graders made Kindness Heart gifts for us. We all appreciated them so much.

Going through the locks to the lake!









Show and Tell is a wonderful way for students to begin to practice their public speaking skills. This boy brought in a globe to show the children the differences between the oceans and continents.
