This week the students will be presenting their poems. They are welcome and encouraged to add movement, props and SIMPLE (easily put on and taken off) costumes for their presentations. Mystery book report projects for October are due October 24th. Please let me know if you need supplies. The students are welcome to bring home their art bags so that they have their crayons, markers, colored pencils and other supplies at home. Please remember to send the art bags back the next day.
