Fall Carnival

Our third WOHE fall carnival is quickly approaching! To help with the supplies that we will need to make the carnival a success, first grade is asking for donations of Little Debbie or Hostess-like snack cakes to use for the cake walk game. If you can donate any of these items, feel free to just send them in your kiddos backpack! Thank you all so much for your support!

Data Sheets

Check out the tabbed data sheet in your child’s take home folder.  I have updated their reading level and the sight words they know. 

Pumpkin Carving

This year will mark the first pumpkin carving competition at the WOHE Fall Festival!  Please join us as we create a pumpkin patch created by our WOHE families!

To participate, simply carve a pumpkin at home and bring it to WOHE Friday, October 5th for display at the Fall Festival. Pumpkin entries can arrive after 6:00 p.m. The anonymous judging will be held that evening with final results being announced at 7:30 p.m.
