Rainbow Room Newsletter November 2016
Hi Rainbow Room families and friend! The Rainbow
Room had a very busy month of October learning about
our community. With only two weeks until Thanksgiving,
we decided to do a shorter theme. Our new theme is the
play “The Gingerbread Man.” On Tuesday, November 22nd,
we will have a performance of our play at 9:00 am. We
encourage parents and families to come see the hard work
of the students.

Recycled materials for art- toilet paper tubes,
bubble wrap, tissue paper, packing peanuts etc.
