The kids choose a character from heir favorite book and dress-up like the character on parade day. The kids march along the halls and into the cafeteria for everyone to see them dressed up as their character and showing their favorite book. That was their dress-up day. This coming Friday is Halloween and the school will be learning all about skeletons (Skeleton Day).  Here is the tag I made for my daughter.

Half a 1 inch circle punch can be glued to the front of the rosette to secure the shape, ...
