Happy October! October in our class means practicing for the annual Halloween parade. Every day leading up to Halloween one center is practicing walking holding a rope and walking behind me across the playground and up the ramp to the gate to the upper campus. When we get to the gate we stop and I point to where we will keep walking on Halloween. Then we walk back to the classroom just in time to switch to the next center. Once a week, we will practice the entire route as an entire class. It’s only been two days but I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how well everyone is listening and walking with the rope. I hope to have more information regarding Halloween but right now the details are that there will be a school wide parade where every class walks around the upper playground to show off their costumes. The teachers at each grade level are working on a secret costume to be debuted on Halloween. The school band and music is also playing. It is quite the sensory experience and change in our routine, however, the daily practice really helps our class on the big day.
Just a reminder, there is no school this Friday October 5th. It is a teacher work day, enjoy your long weekend! Also, there is still time to sign up for the Run for Ed! It is the weekend of October 13th and 14th, the Friendship Run is Saturday October 13th at 10 am.
