November Has Arrived... Along with Signs of Fall

Thank you to all parents/guardians for the wonderful conferences!  It is a pleasure working with your child and sharing their successes and growth.  If you have any questions or concerns throughout the year, please email me at kathleen.dougherty@lincoln.k12.or.us or call the school at 541-875-2942 ext. 134. 

SCARECROWS AT ECS:

We have been discussing and studying the signs of Fall and symbolism of the Fall season.  We learned about the history of scarecrows through various readings and activities.  One fun activity was having each student make their own scarecrow.  This was a wonderful, creative activity with cooperative learning involved.  Special thanks to Copeland Lumber in Newport for donating the wood and Jerry Sabanskas for cutting up the wood into five and three foot long pieces. 

There are a few scarecrows left on Mrs. D.'s back porch waiting to go home.  Unfortunately, they are not allowed to go home on the bus.  If you want to keep your child's scarecrow, please make arrangements to pick them up by November 11th.  Otherwise, they will be recycled. 

ECS HOBBY HOUR December 15th... It's right around the corner and approaching fast!  This annual event is extra special and memorable for our kids, thanks to your support and volunteerism to make it all come together.  If you wish to donate items for a craft or help out, please let me know or contact Debby Rariden.  We would love to have you.
