Weekly Update 10/26-10/30

Hello to everyone!

This week’s announcements

*We are having a class Halloween celebration!. We will celebrate on Thursday (team 2) and Friday (team 1).  I am going to bring the movie snacks.  We are going to do a “reverse” type of trick or treat in class this year, so the only thing kids need to bring is one bag of their favorite Halloween candy or favorite Halloween party favor (spider rings, fake tattoos, stickers, Halloween pencils type of things).  We are going to make our own Halloween treat bags!  Kids will design their own bag. Then, we will drop our candies/trinkets into each other’s bags.  Dollar Tree has a lot of this stuff, as does Amazon!  Alsoplease provide enough for 24 students. Thank you!
