Ok.

You don't have to say it.

I know that Halloween is over and done with...

BUT...

 I finally downloaded my pictures off of my camera and I just had to share the Frankensteins the kids did!

This was a community wide craft project (that means we taught it to 92 kids at the same time!) during Community Arts and Crafts on the day before Halloween. And they turned out so gosh darn cute! 

Check them out!

Now, Halloween is officially over for this year. I promise!!!!

Cheers!

Spooky Skeletons

Today won't be a long post. I'm fighting an ear ache and, so far, the ear ache is winning! 

Just wanted to post these spooky (but, oh so cute!) skeletons we did during Community Arts & Crafts on Thursday. 

As usual I love how the same craft can show so many differences depending on the student who creates it. So much fun!

We have 92 of these spooky skeletons hanging all over our community. There is no doubt that Halloween is drawing near!

Cheers!

Happy Halloween!!!!

I may be sick but I still have school on the brain. After sleeping the day away I needed to be out of bed for a little while. So, I downloaded the photos from yesterday to show you.

And, now, I am going back to bed!

Check this out!!!!

So, today I spent 45 minutes creating a schedule on the white board in our new teaching office.

I am so, so, so happy with it!

You know that I do love me some colour coordination!

I am not sure which made me happier. The new white board markers or the fact that I bought colours that coordinate with the different studio floors. Woohoo!!!

Now we can all quickly know who is where when (i.e. gym, music, library etc) plus who is teaching in which studio when.

Pure.

Bliss.

In fact, I was having so much fun making this, while the class was in the library, that I totally forgot to write the note home about Halloween.

Oops!!!

So, if you are checking this today AND you are in our community, please note that students are allowed to wear costumes to school tomorrow (the usual no masks/no weapons schtick). We will be doing a small (community only) parade of our costumes at the start of the day and parents are welcome to hang out for that part. The rest of the day will be spent doing Halloween stations with each of the teachers in our community. We will  not be having a food party at all but will be watching a Magic School Bus video  (Going Batty - which seemed like a good choice given that bats are a Halloween type thing AND all the teachers will probably have gone batty by that point in the day!!!) as a whole community to end our day.

Cross your fingers for a no rain day tomorrow.
