OCTOBER 31st
On Friday, October 31st, we will be doing several fun activities in class! We will also be having a pajama day (if your student does not participate in PJ Day, they do need to be in dress code). 

Our activities will include:

• Inference Detective: The Case of the Missing Candy Corn (allergen-friendly lollipops will be handed out as prizes)

• Bat measuring with candy corns 

• Candy corn science experiment (which dissolves the candy best: vinegar, water, or oil)

• Math mystery picture 

• Making monsters out of Play-Doh 

• Pumpkin directed draw 

• If there is time, we will watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" (rated G TV movie)

 

Please let your teacher know if there are any concerns about your child participating in these activities. Please let her know if your child can NOT have a DumDum® sucker or candy corn.
