Weekly Update for 10/30/17


*Book Character Day (October 31)

We will be celebrating Book Character Day on Tuesday, October 31.  Your child is invited to dress up as their favorite character from a book that day, and bring their book to share with the class.  At 1:10 we will have a parade around the school to share all of the wonderful books and characters at school that day.  Beginning at 2:30, our class will have a special craft/activity celebration.  If you would like to help, and have not been contacted, please let me know.  Special thanks to Mrs. Emanuel for helping organize this event.
