I have to say that Jeff is the most awesome 1st grade teacher ever! At least his class thought so after this awesome Halloween day at school! It was a modified day, so the kids were at school a shorter amount of time than a normal school day. In the morning, the kids came in, colored a fun Halloween packet, played a fun Jack-o-Latern game with their spelling words, and decorated treat bags for the party in the afternoon. Some of these kids are refugees or homeless and did not come to school with a costume. They all wanted to go on the costume parade, so I brought in some face paints and painted (poorly in some cases) the kids who wanted face paint so they could participate. It was a blast! I hope I'll be able to go in to school with Jeff every year and make it a tradition!
After the parade, the kids went to lunch. When they came back from lunch, we broke out all of the treats the kids brought to share, along with some treats from Mr. Stevens. They enjoyed their treats, watched Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin, and then it was time to go home. Some of the kids were so excited! And they loved Mr. Stevens costume! Although many of them found not the hairdo or the fake tattoos strange at all (I guess since most of their parents have those things?), but the black nails were the funniest part to them. Those nails were the idea of Kara & Brooke. The principal thought Jeff's costume was awesome... so much so that he took a picture of him and posted it to the school's facebook page!
Here are some pictures of the fun!
