Halloween

October 1, 2015-

We will be having a Halloween Parade and Party on Friday the 30th of October! On that day we will be busy starting a with a fall activity, then a parade around the neighborhood to show off the kids costumes, and then a lunch potluck!
We are asking for one or two parents to plan and set up a fun fall activity to do in class before the parade. About an hour activity from 10-11.The parade starts at 11:30 and then at 11:45 we will start the Lunch Potluck Party.
We will have a sign-up sheet in the class room to let know what you want to bring for the potluck. So start thinking of what entrees/ dishes you want to bring!
We encourage and welcome all parents to come! Please RSVP in class with sign-up sheet.
At this age children see reality and fiction as the same. They don't understand that monsters aren't real. For this reason we will honor there stage of development and ask that all costumes be based on a real items or realistic people (ex. Book character, real person).
