Halloween Fall Centers!

We went to other classes to do different things related to Halloween and Fall. In Ms.Lawson's class we made and ate dirt(pudding & crushed oreos). In Mr.Roth's class we made crystal balls or bubble with dry ice. That's ice that never dries. In Mrs.Wotring's class we listened to Tailybone by: David Holt and wrote about it. In Ms.Keene's class we made stories and passed them around so each person wrote a part of your story. It was AWESOME!! Have a great day!
