What a terrific Fall Festival! It was fantastic seeing you all and of course one of the highlights for me was watching the children parade in their costumes. Gage's mom took some terrific photos and I will post these soon.
Poetry in the Park is fast approaching (Wed. Nov. 10) and so is our Second Grade Program (Nov. 19). We will be busy over the next weeks preparing for these events. Your child should continue to practice the poems at home for easy memorization.
On Friday morning, the students will get the chance to hear the author, Sharon Robinson, speak, as well as watch the production of Henry and Ramona in the afternoon.
Here is our week at a glance.
