Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are excited to announce a fun and creative project for your child—The Pumpkin Book Character Disguise Project!
This activity combines reading, art, and imagination. Each student will choose a character from a favorite book, and then disguise a small pumpkin to look like that character. The pumpkin will be displayed at school and your child will get a chance to share their creation with the class.This is a great way to celebrate fall, reading, and creativity all at once. Thank you for supporting your child’s learning and creativity at home. We can’t wait to see all the amazing disguised pumpkins!
-Happy Reading & Decorating!
