Halloween

We did a lot of fun things in October to celebrate Halloween.  We had fun with other classes, did art projects, and of course had a Halloween party!

At the beginning of the month I turned the class into witches and warlocks.  These are always a hit in the hallway!  Everyone did a great job watercolor painting the night background for this scene.  I then took their pictures in profile and turned them into silhouettes.

I love how these actually look like each of the kids!

We recently partnered up with the 2nd graders to make Halloween hands.  We filled gloves with candy corn for nails then added popcorn to fill it out.  The finishing touch was a creepy spider ring.

The firsties decorated my bulletin board with their original ghosts.  We have ghosts with a bike, walking a dog, and wearing fancy clothes!

The high school Child Development class came to our room to do a Halloween craft with us.  They made such a cute Frankenstein out of Popsicle sticks!

We finished out the month of October with Halloween (on a MONDAY)!  Everyone looked so good in their costumes!  Once we were dressed up we had some extra time so we played Witch Hat Ring Toss.  It turns out this game is much harder than it looks, but everyone still had fun.

Once everyone was ready, grades K-3 went trick or treating at the nursing home, assisted living, and high school.  They walked away with so much candy, it was almost unbelieveable.

I hope everyone had a great Halloween, I know these first graders did!
