Happy Halloween!

To celebrate the month of October we made a Halloween themed bulletin board. We learned a fun song by the name of Witches' Brew. Then each student wrote a list of ingredients to put in their own Witches' Brews. In the Art center this week students were also able to make a craft stick Jack-O-Lantern to go along with their Witch Cauldrons.

Welcome!

I am really excited about starting a classroom blog. I believe it will be a great tool, not only for myself but for you as a parent to become even more of a part of our classroom community. Each week I will update our blog with what we have been working on and what we will be doing the next week. I will also provide you with information on upcoming school/classroom events.
