Wow! What a spooktacular day we had! Students were so excited to finally celebrate Halloween on Friday. Shortly after arriving at school, we quickly got dressed (thanks to a few helping hands from parent volunteers) for our whole school Halloween parade. We loved seeing all the different costumes!
After the parade, we had snack and then participated in some special Halloween themed literacy centers. In my group, students choose an eyeball with a sticker on it, said the name of the object on the sticker, and then either identified the beginning or ending sound of that word. In Ms. Montefusco's group, students used bingo daubers to stomp out the number of syllables in words. In the last group, children either drew Halloween pictures or took photos of our classroom Halloween decorations in the Seesaw app and practiced labeling. We also practiced retelling Go Away, Big Green Monster!
In the afternoon, after art, we were eager to begin our Halloween party. It was so beautiful outside that we read a Halloween story in the courtyard and then walked back to the classroom like zombies. The students were eerily good at this and startled poor Mrs. Moore who happened to be walking by as we were about to head back inside.
During our party, children enjoyed the crafts Mrs. Creasi planned and then snacked on some yummy treats. A huge thank you to parents who donated food and party supplies and/or volunteered their time in helping with costumes or helping out with the afternoon fun. The students and I are very grateful!
I was able to capture many happy and silly moments from today. Enjoy the Animoto video below!
