Potato Parade
The Potato Parade will be Thursday March 5th.
Students are challenged to use a potato and turn it into a favorite book character. Be as creative as you can to disguise the potato. You could use paint, paper, fabric, ribbons, or anything you can think of to imitate a great book character.
Here are some ideas to get your thinking started.
