Halloween Fun!

We have a lot of fun events coming up in a couple of weeks, on October 31st, and I'll need some help from parents!

Literary Pumpkins!

On the week of October 31, all of the classes will be making our own pumpkin, made to look like a character from a book we've read. Ours will be a certain "Humble" and "Radiant" pig...


Book Character Parade!

9:00-10:00 - October 31

Students are encouraged to come to school dressed as a character from a book. It can be a book we've read in class or some other book. If they already have a Halloween costume and there's a book about that character, they can wear that costume. Or you may decide to make a costume at home. Parents are also invited to come, watch, and take lots of pictures (but you have to send Mr. Sofferin copies for the blog!).


Pumpkin Science!

10:00-11:30 - October 31

After the parade, we'll be doing a super-fun investigation, involving math, science, and PUMPKINS! For this activity, I am asking for some parents to bring in a pumpkin. We'll need about six pumpkins - some big and some small (not pie pumpkin size). If you can help supply a pumpkin for the activity, please send one in with your child either next week or the following (October 21-28). The pumpkin will be returned with your child (unless they don't want it) on October 31st, all cleaned out and ready for carving!
