Kindergarten: Both morning and after-
noon classes made Hallowe'en crafts and
stories, pumpkins into jack -o -lanterns,
ghosts with curly tails.
The afternoon class had a special treat
when the grade eight family studies group
did Hallowe'en crafts and baked pumpkin
cookies with them.
The students are looking forward to car-
ving the pumpkin.
Mr. Pike's Comments: The staff and
students are enthused with their new
ICONS. In the icon program there are
three main activities. In draw, you choose
from different colours and draw any pic-
ture. In write you are basically learning to
type. Logo is about direction and shapes.
