Happy Halloween! Today I am reminded of a fun book a colleague gave me a few years back, This is the Teacher about a teacher who is ready for school to begin. However, by the end of the day, with all of the mishaps and adventures, the teacher is... all ready for bed. I would like to recommend that the author write a sequel about the same teacher on Halloween. Oh the sugar, sweets, excitement, and adventures that ensue in any classroom on Halloween.
Please note, this is in no way a complaint, as I myself get just as giddy as the students. Gooey treats, spooky art projects, learning disguised as halloween games... I love watching their faces and hearing their excitement as they make pumpkins using 2-D shapes, mix a pumpkin snack by following 2 step directions, read and sing a pumpkin song that has wow words, and so on.
This is the first time I can recall students wearing costumes to school. It went quite smooth. We had a parade through the first grade wing to show off our spook-tacular disguises. Pictures will be posted soon.
Yummy snack idea: Mix together pumpkin pie filling and whipped cream. Place a dallop of mixture on a graham craker. Freeze for 1 hour. Mmmm...kid (and teacher) approved. (Source unknown.)
