Happy Halloween!

We've had so much fun singing and moving to Halloween songs!

Kindergartners were excited to finally be able to bring home their Halloween mobiles. After creating movements to represent Halloween characters, kindergarten students decorated mobiles with six creatures.

una calabaza-pumpkin
una calabaza con cara-jack 'o lantern
la bruja-witch
el fantasma-ghost
el gato negro-black cat
el murciélago-bat

The second graders added spooky voices to the poem "Spooks and Spirits" and turned it into a round. They then worked in groups to create movements for each character in the poem.







The fourth graders got some extra (fun) recorder practice as they sang and acted out the traditional folk song "Skin and Bones."



And, of course, the special teachers had a bit of fun for the Halloween parade!

Halloween is in the Air!

Wednesday morning I had the opportunity to read my favorite Halloween story, The Vanishing Pumpkin, to Mrs. Jotch and Mrs. Reynold's JK class. They were great listeners! We all had a fun time.


Apparently word traveled fast about The Vanishing Pumpkin. Monday morning I got to read to Mrs. Reynold and Mrs. Carson's class too! Thank you for inviting me JK!
