Happy Halloween!

We had a great day on Halloween (actually, the 30th)! We started the day by getting into costumes and showing off for everyone in the class. Then we began our 1/2 hour pumpkin activity sessions by working on pumpkin math and reading with Mrs. Bracken. We estimated the circumference of a giant pumpkin, and then read a mini-book about costumes and added a picture of ourselves on the last page. Then we headed to Mrs. Hjellming's class to play some pumpkin games. After that, we went to Mrs. Winchell's room to hear a pumpkin story and play pumpkin bingo. Our last session was in Mrs. LaPan's room where we learned about bats and made a bat hat. We ended the morning with a parade in our Commons with all of the first graders as we sang "Five Little Pumpkins." It was really fun to go to all of the classrooms for a special activity!
Here we all are in our costumes.

Don't we look great?

No one was too scary.

It's fun to pretend to be someone (or something) else!

We also had some visitors from the high school who came to teach us about Halloween Safety.

It was fun to see all of our friends in their costumes at the Halloween Parade.

We got into our regular clothes before playtime, and then continued with our normal routine in the afternoon. Thanks to everyone who brought treats, and for being on your best behavior on a very busy day!!

I invited the kids to come to my house for Trick or Treats, and took a picture of each little character by the pumpkin that we carved in class.
