Peek of the Week of October 26-30


Hopefully things will be back to normal this week.  Thank you for all of the 'Get Well' wishes.  I hope everyone is feeling much better this week. 

This week we will be celebrating Halloween through a variety of activities.  We will end the week with a Halloween movie party on Friday afternoon.  Our classroom will be transformed into a movie theater complete with a snack bar.  Thank you to the parents who have volunteered to provide snacks for our movie Snack Bar. 

On Thursday we will attend a program put on by the police department called "Stranger Danger". 

On Friday afternoon our class will visit the Bookfair at our regular library time (12:50). We will browse and make our Wish Lists.
