Yesterday, we got to visit the Elk Horn Public Library and participate in their fun Halloween activities! While we were there, we listened to Halloween stories, made a craft, enjoyed a snack, visited a haunted house, and went on a story walk.
We also got to use our senses to explore some icky Halloween items, including witch warts and mummy skin! We always look forward to our visits to the library and are so thankful for the fun experiences they provide for us!

Fifth Grade went down to the Care Center on Tuesday for "Book Buddies" with the residents. Each book a student read, earned a "Book Buck" for the resident. We will return to read again in November. In December, the residents will have the opportunity to "spend" their bucks on items for friends and family.The fifth graders will help them shop and wrap their gifts! Thanks to the Exira Library for coordinating this fun program!
