Please read the following regarding our Halloween Party

5/6 HALLOWEEN PIÑATA INFO:
We will be making our own Halloween-themed piñatas out of recycled materials--no buying one in a store!  Look at things you would normally throw out at home like boxes, newspapers, packing materials, bags, etc.  Be creative!  Think about how you can reuse your found trash items to make a “recycled”piñata for theHalloween party!You may fill your piñata with whatever PEANUT-FREE, individually-wrapped goodies you would like!  Piñatas can have a pull-string to open or just traditional paper mache all over to be “broken into” –check with your teacher to see if he/she has a preference.  Paper mache can be made using thinned school glue/water or thinned corn starch/water.  Make sure to incorporate a secure hanging mechanism (of recycled material).  The Halloween piñata is an optional at-home project for all 5/6 students.  Bring finished piñatasto school the week of October 24-28.  We will elect the winning piñatas within our 5/6 teams before we have the fun of breaking them open at the Halloween party on Monday, October 31.
