It was great seeing so many parents at the parade! A very big THANK YOU to all the parents who planned and ran our Halloween class party. The kids made spooky spider webs and enjoyed a fun Halloween story! Scarecrows were our theme for the rest of this week. We read some great literature, completed story retelling, learned about the words “character” and “setting” and decorated the halls with some adorable scarecrows!
