We completed our Pumpkin Unit and thanks to the families who sent in the pumpkins. We had enough for each table to have their own pumpkin to examine with their Reading Buddies. It was a lot of fun.

Just a reminder: If your child wants snack milk in the afternoon( which most of them are getting) please remember to send them with their $.40 for the milk. I understand that sometimes we forget and I put it for them and then they bring it in the next day. I know that mornings are crazy to try and get everything done.
