We have been getting ready for Halloween by reading spooky, scary, and just plain fun Halloween stories!
Some of our favorite Halloween Stories:
It’s Raining Bats and Frogs by Rebecca Colby
The Widow’s Broom by Chris Van Allen
Creepy Carrots! By Aarob Reynolds
Room on the Broom Julia Donaldson
Frankencrayon by Michael Hall
3rd and 4th graders in Mrs. Perry’s Library class are sharing their love of reading with Maple and Hazel, our school goats! Each week, two students will take 10-15 minutes of their library class to read with the goats. Students learned the multiple meanings of the word, ruminate: 1. to go over in the mind repeatedly and often casually or slowly 2. to chew repeatedly for an extended period. We will be conducting more research on the care of goats and ruminants all year long.

Ruminants: a type of herbivore animal that has a four-chamber stomach. They chew their food, regurgitate it back up, and then chew it again.
