Officer Pote and Fall Party Celebration!

 Officer Pote came to discuss stranger danger and how to trick-or-treat safely.  We even got to sit in his vehicle AND turn the sirens on!  "Mark is soooooo much fun!" said one of our students.  We agree, he was super fun!  Thanks, Mark!
 
 
 
 Thanks for the awesome banana ghosts, Charity, and the amazing rice krispy treats, Mama Lori!  We have amazing parents and grandma's!
 Humbug Witch came to read us a story.  I wonder who that was?
 Amazing builders!
 We love Ms. Malissa!   One of our students brought her this Color Eye Spy book and was so excited that it looked just like Ms. Malissa!
 Our little blessings!  We missed you, Margaret.
 Fun games to celebrate the season! 
 
 
 


Thank  you to all our families for helping to make our party a success!  We had a great time and made some amazing memories.

Photo Shoot

 A few shots of our photo shoot in action!  While the students were waiting to go out to have their picture taken, we played, "FIND SHAPES IN OUR ROOM".  The kids had a blast finding different shapes and did great!
