Happy Halloween!
We had a fun day today, but also educational.
In the morning we had the spelling quiz, and the students did a lot better than I had expected - the 'ai' rule seemed to be tricking many of them, even up until yesterday, but today everyone brought their A-game and rose to the challenge.
We did a lot of storytelling today. For social studies, the students listened to the story of the 'Wendigo', which is a spooky Indigenous legend originating in Eastern Canada. There are some really creepy versions of this story but we stuck with a fairly tame one.
We did a reading comprehension / art activity, in which the students read specific sentences about what to add to their haunted house drawings, and where to put them.
The traditional LBS Halloween Parade made it's return this year, and the students got to march around the other classrooms in our cohort and show off their costumes, while Halloween music played over the PA.
The parade was not the only tradition that made it's return - we also watched the Haunted House episode of Magic School Bus! The episode i all about hearing and sound, so the timing could not be more perfect (bats are part of our hearing and sound unit, and we're getting back into soundwaves next week).
We ended the day with Music once again.
Have a nice weekend and a spooktacular Halloween!
