Winn-Dixie Party...

Our "Dump Punch"

We had an AMAZING "Winn-Dixie" Party last week!   We decorated our room with dog pictures, read A LOT of dog books, brought our stuffed dogs to school to help us work, and had a great lunch...many students loved the egg salad.  THANKS to everyone that brought items to share.  We just LOVED this book.  We learned many life lessons along the way.  I hope some of the students read it on their own.
