Preparrrring for Our Play!

Hello, Families!

When we return from vacation, we will be very busy preparing for a very exciting end of the year! We will be working hard to prepare for our play How to Be A Pirate, which we will perform for families on Thursday, June 2nd at 6:30 pm. Students will be asked to wear a simple costume for our play: boys will wear black t-shirts and girls will wear white t-shirts, and everyone will wear jeans. Each classroom will also wear different colored bandanas (the giraffes will be sporting blue this year!) In order to pay for the bandanas, we will need $2 from each student by Friday, May 6th. Letters will be coming home on Monday regarding the bandana order, and we ask you to return the bottom of the letter to school with your child's name and their bandana money

We arrrrrrr so excited to begin practicing our songs and dances! 

Happy Hallowilloween!

We began our Halloween celebrations a bit early in 2R! Today, we learned the 12 Days of Halloween song and held our class Halloween Party at the end of the day before going to Library.

During our party, Ms. Riley along with our awesome room mom and parent volunteers provided us with healthy snacks along with a few treats to enjoy while we danced, played games, and listened to a few Halloween poems!

We started out our party with a game of Guess My Costume. Ms. Riley wrote down different costumes on index cards and taped them to everyone's backs. Everyone had to try to figure out which costume they had by asking their friends for clues! 

Afterwards, we all enjoyed a few "Pinspired" snacks along with cupcakes and goodie bags before we played a game of Freeze Dance to The Monster Mash. 

Once we were done moving and grooving, we read the class our clues to our own Halloween costumes and we took turns guessing who each of us would be. Once we were finished, we enjoyed a few poems from Calef Brown's book Hallowilloween. 

Thank you to everyone who provided food, drinks, and supplies for our Halloween Celebration. We were so glad to have a few parents join us for the festivities and share in our fun :) 

Happy Hallowilloween!
