C'est l'Halloween!

Happy Halloween!
We had a terrific morning of Halloween-inspired learning today!

We started our morning with Spooky Math Puzzles that we solved in our table groups. A set of Math equations had some of their terms replaced with Halloween pictures and we had to figure out what each one represented in order to solved the final equation at the bottom.


Next, we listened to a silly Halloween song, "La chanson des squelettes" and filled in the missing words in the lyrics. We then watched the video and corrected our work by watching the lyrics on the screen. We also enjoyed some yummy candy corn fudge brought in by Aidan! Merci, Aidan! :)


We then got to work on a Halloween Math puzzle. Some of us successfully put our puzzle together and glued our finished puzzle to a piece of cardstock; many of us opted to take our puzzles home to work on (perhaps tonight after we are full of candy?!).


We finished our morning together with a "Day of the Dead" craft. We started by reading an article about this Mexican celebration and then followed a set of instructions to each create a unique skeleton. We learned that many of us cannot handwrite our names, but we persevered none the less!


Please ask me about my skeleton!
Our finished Day of the Dead skeletons will be posted in our classroom soon!

Thanks for a great morning, everyone!
Wishing you all a fun and safe evening! :)
