1. Library is now on Wednesday, which is tomorrow.
2. Tomorrow is also the deadline for picture day monies.
3. This is Mr. Alegria's last week in our classroom. We'll be sad to see him go, but are grateful for the learning opportunities he's helped us take advantage of.

 |
| Using cut out pumpkin shapes and shapes. (The pumpkin counting also continues strong in the background) |
 |
| Pumpkin faces using playdough |
