Yes, I know, the Halloween party was several weeks ago and I am just now posting new pictures....what can I say?? Anyhow, the Halloween Party was a lot of fun, if I do say so myself. The day started with a several teachers dressing up like we were from the 80's. This picture is one of me and some of the 4th grade teachers. I had several students at school saying I looked really cool (you know the 80's
are in again) and pretty. WOW! I had blue eyeshadow on and my hair in a side ponytail! While I definitely did not feel very fashionable, I must admit, there was an eerie feeling of comfort that engulfed me that morning as I was putting on my "costume".

The party was organized by Alex's father and donations were sent in by many parents. I must say that this party was wonderfully done! We had so much food that the kids couldn't eat it all! Besides the normal candy, there were 3 different types of cookies, "ants on a log", cheese sticks, cheese popcorn, and Jello Jigglers! In addition to the food, there were several great Halloween themed goodies in the goodie bags. The parents in my classroom outdid themselves! It was really nice to be able to take pictures and interact with the parents and not have to take care of the party details!

The day started out like any other Friday, we took our normal tests and participated in our Kindergarten Reading Buddies. Once lunch was over though, it was all she wrote! The kids were so pumped to get dressed and party, I knew that we would not get any lessons accomplished, so we watched the very first episode of
Little House on the Prairie. I had just finished reading
Little House in the Big Woods and the kids absolutely loved it so much that it was an unanimous vote to read the second book in the series. Because they really liked the books, I thought they might like the TV show, too. Since I am a HUGE Laura Ingalls Wilder fan, I decided to bring in the first season on DVD. Let's put it this way, since showing the first episode, I am asked fairly regularly when we are going to watch the next episode!
Once the clock struck 1:00 and parents began arriving, my lovely class of 23 was transformed into a bunch of strangers! We had two werewolves, a bride, Alice, Bo Duke driving the General Lee, several ninjas, Albert Einstein, a couple cowgirls, a slice of pizza, Slash, two army men, a zombie/skeleton, and a sixties rocker (who looked a bit like John Lennon!). I loved the costumes and watching the kids get so excited! It was a great start to the Halloween weekend!
