A packet was sent home with your child last week. After reading the book and completing the pages in your packet (see assignment calendar in your packet) you will decorate your pumpkin. This is supposed to be a fun family project. Be creative! To gather some inspiration, we encourage you to click on the “Pumpkin Book Project” picture located on the homepage of our website. It will lead you to a mini presentation featuring some pumpkins from last year. This was created using a really neat app called “Adobe Slate” check it out! www.stlukegrade3.weebly.com Lastly, there is another picture with colorful pencils located right underneath the pumpkin picture. Students & parents are welcome to click on this picture to learn and practice this week’s reading, spelling & grammar skills together at home. If this is something helpful, we can put it on the site each week! E-mail [email protected] with any feedback.
