🎃🍂 Exciting times in Mrs. Lister's class as we celebrate the beginning of Fall! Today, we dived into three fantastic Fall stories, exploring themes of change and harvest. To make it even more special, we got creative by crafting our very own Jack o’ Lanterns using donated laundry pod containers! A huge thank you to our wonderful Okeechobee community for your generous contributions. Together, we're not just making art; we're learning to identify shapes while having fun! Here's to a fantastic Fall filled with learning and creativity! 🍁✨ #FallFun #CommunitySpirit #MrsListersClass #PantherPride
