HALLOWEEN TOMORROW!
Month: October 2019
Fall Fun!
This week we learned about the season of fall/autumn!
We picked our favorite fall activity.
We each created our very own jack-o-lanterns! We had so much fun – especially dancing to the fun song at the end!
We played with leaves and jumped in “leaf piles”!
We had a great week!
:-)
I guess when you work so closely together everyday you start to think and dress alike… 🙂 We all showed up to work in mustard yellow and it was totally unplanned!

A sad goodbye but happy hello!
OOPS – I meant to post this a few weeks ago but it never posted!!!
We had a big change to our classroom: our classroom parapro, Ms. Sisoy, transferred to Howe School to be a para in Mrs. Adams’ Preschool SXI classroom. Ms. Sisoy and Mrs. Adams worked together here at Snow for many years until Mrs. Adams moved to Howe. We were sad to see her go but were glad that she was able to be with her good friend again.
Although we were sad to have Ms. Sisoy leave, we are so very happy to have an amazing new classroom parapro, Mrs. A! She is an incredible addition to our classroom! The students have adjusted very well to her and just adore her, as do Mrs. Diane and I!
