Our class will be doing some very fun activities on
Pumpkin Day, October 30th! If you want to send
some special snack treats for us that day, we welcome
that too. Below are items that the children need to
bring to school no later than Wednesday, October
28th.
1.) Each child is responsible for bringing a
pumpkin to school by the 28th. The pumpkin
can be any size your child wants as long as
they can carry it into the school on their own.
We will be using these pumpkins on Pumpkin
Day to do a variety of fun math activities
(including carving into the pumpkins).
2.) Also, please send an orange with your child by
the 28th as well. Thank you parents!
