really enjoyed the Little Red Riding Hood theme. We also practiced
patterning, made tear-paper pumpkins (these were sent home), and
completed our centers for the day. During computer time, the kids played

letters and their sounds. Tomorrow, we will be dismissed at 12:25, so
please be sure someone is home! Have a great day!
