Thanks for a Great Halloween Parade
We wanted to thank every student and parent who joined us for our outdoor Halloween Parade. Everyone’s costumes and smiles (even under their masks) were so much fun to see.
A special thanks to the weather for cooperating… let’s do this again next year!
Also, please remember that candy is not allowed to be eaten at school, so please save those goodies for at-home treats.
For those who couldn’t be there, or if you just want to see it all again, here’s a link to Mr. Young’s pictures. https://kittredgeschool.shutterfly.com/pictures/22110

November’s Habit of Mind – Questioning and Problem Posing
“Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.” ~Voltaire
It is very important to question and pose problems when you don’t understand something. When something is difficult, asking questions and posing problems is one of the easiest ways to get the answer or solution.
“The wise man doesn’t give the right answers, he poses the right questions.” ~Claude Levi-Strauss
