Halloween is here!
Ghosts and goblins,
Spooks and bats
Are flying through the air. Boo!
This is one of the many songs I sing around this time of year in my classroom. This one is sung to the tune of Jingle Bells...try it out. It's hard to get in all the ghosts and goblins and spooks and bats into one line of melody. My students were in tip top hysteria about Halloween this year. Yesterday, several times, kids would just turn to me and with all their pent up glee and say, "It's Halloween!". Thank you, children, for that update. They just couldn't help themselves. It really is a very fun day. Our school is one of the only schools left that still celebrates the holiday with a parade and a party. I was Miss Mary Mack as I am every year. I love my costume...simple and yet pleasing.
We also dressed up for the history grad student party this past weekend. All the grad students do a nice job of dressing up, but I was especially proud of us. We borrowed some materials from my Kindergarten supply closet and came up with these winners: organ donors.
You know, I've never really liked the bloody, scary, spooky side of Halloween, but I really do love dressing up and just being silly with others.
