Fall Fest

Finally after a lot of hours of preparation from the teacher, the other classroom mom, and I our Fall Fest was a huge success today. The children had a whole day of Halloween fun. Beginning at 8am, the children paraded around the school visiting various classrooms in their costumes and collecting lots of treats. Tyler went as Finn from Adventure Time because the robot costume was much too big for him to go on the bus and I had a load of things to bring to the school already. He was very content being Finn though and he looked adorable in his costume.

Once the parade of costumes was over, fun in the classroom began. We started the kids off with a craft actually meant for our upcoming Thanksgiving Fest. We thought it would be cute for them to make turkey t-shirts out of their foot and hand prints, and this way they can all be wearing the same thing.
Next on the agenda was story time. The kids listened to a story about apples and how to make apple cider. They also got to sample different kinds of apples from around the world.
After story time, they had their faces painted. At the table that I was doing, most of kids wanted the American flag painted on their faces for some particular reason. I had a few kids that had their faces painted by the teacher but then washed it off and came over to my table for some painting. LOL
Before breaking for lunch, the children squeezed in a spelling test and a math game, boys against the girls. The winner was to get an ice cream party on Sunday (school day here). It turned out they both tied! Then we had a break for lunch and after lunch we continued on with several more crafts: a pumpkin lantern, a close pin bat, and decorative treat bags. Once the crafts were completed, the kids watched a play performed by another teacher. After the play, the children enjoyed Halloween treats brought in by the parents and some special "sewer punch" made by the teacher. They watched a movie while they ate their goodies. Overall, it was another fantastic class party.
