Halloween Fun

Well, I just have to say that the children in Room 108 were VERY good sports yesterday! We all came to school prepared for our fun day at Breezy Maple Farms in Massena...boots, coats, hats, mittens and lunches!!! Unfortunately, the farm called and had to cancel our trip for yesterday due to the fact that it was raining out and all our activities were outdoor activities for our visit. The children took the news as well as could be expected. They all seemed to cheer up when I announced we would be going on Monday instead!

However, there was one serious snafu (or so I thought)! We had no costumes to wear for the day ;o( I am proud to say that my roomful of 4 and 5 year-olds made the most of this unforeseen situation. We watched the other kids parade through school and admired all the creative, funny outfits worn to school. We also got to see some of the "big kids'" costumes when we took a walk through AAK Middle School.

We returned to our classroom to finish our Halloween Safety activities, made Balloon Jack-o-lanterns, did Mummy Wrapping (soooo many giggles and so much fun!), watched the movie Spooky Pooh and enjoyed a snack of juice and popcorn! We even squeezed in some free play time. All in all it was a fun day.

And I have the pics to prove it!

Have a SAFE and FUN Halloween! And don't forget to come to school prepared for more fun at the farm on Monday!!
