Happy Halloween!

10.31.07

Today was the last day of Halloween parties at school, and it went very well! From time to time my students can be a handful, but I've come to realize how much I care about them all. Everyone of them looked absolutely adorable in their costumes. When I opened the door dressed in my cowboy hat and bandanna, they would always smile and dart excitedly into the classroom. I think out of all my students, the most memorable costume was warn by one of my little ones (4 year olds); her name is Michika. Michika dressed up as Stitch from the Disney movie Lilo and Stitch, which is very popular here. She really played the part and even made Stitch eating noises as I gave her her candy at the end of the lesson. I also had some Jack Sparrows, many witches, a ghost, a few cats, a few devils, Mr. Incredible, and some others. Here are some of my favorite class pictures.

Yay for donuts on a string!

Half of the lesson was normal and the second half was filled with Halloween related games. We played pin the nose on the pumpkin, and let the kids eat dangling donuts without their hands. The kids really enjoyed both. We also played musical chairs and Halloween BINGO to help them remember some of the Halloween vocabulary. Oh and I can't forget, we also taught them how to be expert trick-o-treats; with good manners and all.
