The week of Oct. 3rd

We are in October and I am losing my mind. The time has gone by so quickly. We have some big things coming up this month, so please make sure that you check the blog often.

We are creating apple witches this October. A huge thank you to the parents that came out and helped us carve the faces. We will be dressing our witches later in the month. On Monday, I will be sending home a pattern for the apple witch dress. It is a pretty basic dress, but it does require a little sewing, or glueing. Either works fine. I am looking for a few parent volunteers that could help us sew dresses, if needed. Please contact me if you can help sew.

Our first field trip is coming up!! We will be taking the Frontrunner to the Curiosity Museum at Thanksgiving Point. Permission forms, parent volunteer opportunities, and more information will be posted on Monday. So please check back!!
