Happy Halloween!

White Hall Elementary students enjoyed a Halloween Parade and Hallway of Fun on Monday evening. Although the weather was very cold, many parents and children braved the weather in their Halloween finest for this annual WHE PTO Halloween activity. Look for the photos on the WHE website. Everyone looked great!

This week ends the "pink" month of cancer awareness for women. Make sure the women in your life get checked!

Mrs. Tammy Winters, former WHE teacher, returned to our classroom, after teaching us about an art print last week,to make 3-D paper stars with us. She suggested the students make them in patriotic colors in honor of November's voting day and Veteran's Day. Later, they could make them in Christmas colors for decorating on a Christmas tree. We appreciate Mrs. Winters and her efforts to share the world of art with us.

Our students enjoyed sharing their leaf booklets with Mrs. Hoesman's first grade class. Next week during writing, we plan to write a friendly letter to them about our new life in second grade.

Students enjoyed their first trip this year to our Accelerated Reader store to redeem points earned for passing comprehension tests on the computer over books read during guided reading class and when time allows during the rest of their school day. Thank you for sending in donations we requested. The students really do appreciate the reward.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Halloween classroom party! We appreciate your efforts to help us celebrate through donations or help during the party.

Please remember to be safe this Halloween. Trick or treat with an adult. Make sure you can see clearly out of your costume and that cars can see you. Visit homes you know. Check treats before eating. Be safe and you will have fun!
