Parent-teacher conferences start tomorrow so there is NO SCHOOL on Thursday or Friday.
Today we kicked off Halloween with our school-wide Halloween parade. We saw the most creative and fun costumes from kindergarten all the way to 8th grade! What a wonderful way to get into the Halloween spirit.
The kids finished their sugar skulls with Julianne this morning and also experimented with coloring on black paper with white pencils. Many students drew themselves in their costume, while others chose to draw some spooky scenes.
We finished up typing the rough drafts of our stories during Writer's Workshop and we're getting very close to polishing them up!
The students of Strawberry Creek cashed in their "Seconds Time"-- the time they have left over from transitions during the day-- to have 11 minutes and 49 seconds of choice time this afternoon. Some played games outside while others chose to draw and read inside.
We met with our Laurel Creek buddies today and celebrated Halloween by making Halloween cards. The buddies worked together cutting, writing, drawing, and coloring-- they made some pretty SPOOKtacular cards!
Have a frightenly fun Halloween tonight and we'll see you at conferences!
