Daily Update:
We kicked off our day with morning announcements and then had a final rehearsal of our Halloween song for today’s performance. Our spelling word was “Frankenstein,” and our Show Not Tell prompt was “She was scared.” For Haggerty, we finished Week 8’s Thursday listening games, and in our Doodle session, we learned to draw a haunted house (at 1.5x speed!). Our Work on Writing prompt was “In Canada, Halloween is…” and we got into the spirit with a fun Halloween activity packet.

Math:
While the K’s and 1’s enjoyed some Halloween-themed activities, the Grade 2s and 3s stayed in our classroom for a special math session. We worked on solving secret codes, color-by-equation challenges, mazes, and other fun Halloween puzzles.

Lunch:
We headed downstairs to an amazing spaghetti lunch with garlic bread and juice boxes, prepared by our Home and School. They also provided cupcakes for dessert that we got to decorate ourselves!

After Lunch:
We headed back to our classrooms to get into costume! After transforming, we gathered in the gym to carve pumpkins with the help of some amazing parents, grandparents, and other volunteers. We showed off our outfits in a costume parade, then each class had a turn on stage to perform songs and poems we’d rehearsed (and in some cases, even wrote ourselves!). If you missed us today, tune in to 95.9 Rewind FM at 8:25 AM tomorrow to catch our performance. We wrapped up with a quick dance party, went back upstairs for treats, and packed up for home. It was organized chaos and a lot of fun! Good luck trick-or-treating tonight—stay safe!
