Parents,
We would like to invite you to be a guest reader on Thursday, October 30. We will rotate groups of students through for a read aloud with you! Please email Ms. Duncan if you are interested. If you need a book, we have plenty! The 30th is Storybook Character dress up day, so costumes are a plus! If you would like to pair up, that is great too! We can plan for readers in multiple places during each time slot and put more than one class in a location at a time (ie: MPR). Classes will also be rotating through the trunk or treat during these times. Thank you in advance! We are excited to start this new tradition.
