Hay's Happenings
November 4-8
Announcements
What a great Fall Party! Thanks for making it such a memorable time for our students. The students first played a game where they ate doughnuts like a ghost. While a powdered doughnut hung from a string, the students tried eating it without any hands.
Sweet Mahathi was our classroom champion in the Eat Like a Ghost game. She even beat out Mr. Symank!
Then we made a clean sweep through our classroom with a relay race. Two teams competed to sweep a pumpkin through the classroom. Fun times!!
After our exciting games, we indulged in some yummy snacks!
