Halloween Spooky Read!

We had lots of fun celebrating Halloween on Tuesday with our friends and family! We started off the day with some fun with the Elephant class and then we got to decorate our pumpkins!

We even got a special visit from Ms. Megan and her new puppy! 

That afternoon, many of our family members joined us for our Halloween Spooky Read. We enjoyed lots of different treats while we listened to some scary tunes

Then, it was LIGHTS OUT! For our Spooky Flashlight Read!

It was so much fun to cuddle up with a good book alongside our friends and families. Thank you to all of those who were able to bring food, drinks, and party supplies as well as those who were able to take time out of their busy schedules to join us. 

Happy Halloween to all!

Our Third Annual Fairy Tale Wax Museum!

On Friday, we had our Third Annual Fairy Tale Wax Museum! The giraffes have been working so hard to learn about lots and lots of fairy tale stories, tell them in their own words, and to become the characters of their favorite tales. 

Our museum was almost ready for visitors, but we were missing one thing: our characters!

It was finally time to invite our friends and family to visit this year's exhibits. They could not believe their eyes!

Ms. Riley's brother Matt came to visit us as well! 

We had a brief snack and fairy tale-filled recess before inviting the rest of SMS to pay the second grade classrooms a visit! we also got to check out some of the other classrooms with our friends

Once the museum was "closed" Matt read us a story before we finished our day by watching the movie Matilda (based on our read-aloud book by Roald Dahl!)

We had SO much fun reading so many wonderful stories over the last several weeks and acting as our favorite characters. All of the giraffes worked incredibly hard and should be so proud of their accomplishments! Their teacher certainly is :)
