Halloween Fun!

On Tuesday we had a great morning rotating through our Halloween stations. The costume parade was in the gym after lunch. There were so many people who came out to celebrate with us. It was fun to see all the different costumes.

A Day of Halloween Fun!

I'm a big fan of dressing up for Halloween, seriously. . . I love it. Ms. Code thought it would be a fun idea to go as Elephant and Piggie since the Grade 1s love these books by Mo Willems. You should have seen the looks on the students' faces when Elephant and Piggie went outside to greet them after lunch recess - priceless. We had a great time working at our Halloween stations in the morning. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped out. We could not have done it without you!
