Happy Halloween!

HappyHalloweenPictureLoveItI hope everyone had a tons of fun yesterday out and about with your family and friends!! On Saturday, we visited a local community centre and participated in lots of fun Halloween activities before going to our friends’ house to carve our pumpkins. On Sunday, Kennedy, Ava & I went to the house of Kennedy’s best friend, Frankie! We took some pictures and then went Trick or Treating around the spooky neighbourhood houses.

Save the Turkeys!

Poor turkeys don’t want to be eaten on Thanksgiving, so Division 9 students were given the task of disguising their turkey! Using anything they could find around home, they dressed their turkeys so that they wouldn’t be found and put on the table for Thanksgiving dinner.

The turkeys are now safely hidden in our classroom. *whew!*

Happy Halloween!

HappyHalloweenPictureLoveItI hope everyone had a tons of fun on Saturday with your family and/or friends!! I missed seeing everyone at school in their costumes, but I hope you all had fun celebrating with your friends. Kennedy & I went for a short Trick or Treating around the spooky neighbourhood houses of my friend Fiona and her son, Nolan. It was so cool to see everybody’s creativity in handing out candy during covid. All of the houses we visited had candy chutes from either their balcony or front door, people throwing candy off of balconies, tables with pre packaged candy bags or they were using long tongs to hand out their candy to trick or treaters.

Jingle’s Adventures ~ Week 3

Jingle’s last week with us had her doing aerobics on our disco ball, giving herself a makeover, taking a ride on Rudolph, gliding on a zip line and playing Tic Tac Toe with our classroom stuffies! I sure hope she was proud of our behaviour these past 3 weeks and will give us a thumbs up to Santa!
