Happy Halloween!

The children are having lots of fun this week making Halloween crafts, learning Halloween songs, and reciting Halloween poems.

On Friday, the kindergarten students will visit the nursing home in their costumes at 10am.

Also on Friday, we will have some Halloween activities in the afternoon (we will rotate through the 5 classes), and then we will end the day with a short assembly featuring our Halloween poems and songs. The students may bring their costumes to change into at lunch time.

We will share any treats or snacks at lunch time.

Here are some of the Halloween poems that kindergarten has been learning.
