Storybook Character Day! **Assignment Details Below**
On October 29th (Friday right before Halloween) we will be having our favorite day of the year, Storybook Character Day! On this day your child gets to dress up as their favorite storybook character. Students can choose to bring the book that inspired their costume to read during reading time if they would like. If your child brings a book from home, please make sure to label the inside cover so it finds its way back to you at the end of the day :)
