Hello KA Parents,
It was great seeing many of you at the SMM Halloween Carnival on Friday, I hope your families had fun! We have a full and busy week ahead…
Tomorrow- Monday, Oct. 31 we will celebrate Halloween with a class party in KA at 2:00. **Important** On Halloween, all KA students should come to school dressed in their uniform. They can bring their Halloween costumes in their backpacks or a bag. We will put costumes on in the afternoon for the party. Students may put their costume on over their uniforms, or change in the bathroom. Please make sure they can dress themselves to put their costume on. No face masks, face paint, or weapons of any type. Thank you!
Tuesday, Nov. 1 we will celebrate All Saints Day. There will be an All Saints Day assembly in the church at 10:30. On this day, students may come dressed as a saint or come in uniform. Dressing up is optional, but highly encourage as we celebrate this special day in our church. We will change into uniforms after the assembly, so if dressing up, please send uniform in their bag to change. If you need ideas for saint costumes, please see these links below for inspiration.

On Wednesday, our class will attend a special assembly about Dia De Los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. This is not a sad or scary day, but a special day to pray for and remember those who have died.
This week, we will be integrating some fun Halloween activities into reading and math on Monday, and then resuming regular reading and math for the rest of the week. In religion and social studies, we will be learning about the saints (What is a saint? Why are the saints important to our faith? Why do we ask the saints to pray with us?) We will also be learning about the voting process this week. We will read the story “Duck for President” and discuss how we get to vote for our president in the United States. We will take a class vote to vote for our favorite Halloween candy!
If you have any questions, please let me know,
Mrs. Katie White
