Halloween is part of my culture in Canada and so I decided to put up some Halloween decorations at my school for my students and me. I bought a real-looking plastic jack-o’-lantern, which I put in the entrance. Next to it I put a goblin puppet that laughs when you squeeze the mouth inside! This makes students laugh. On a wall I hung a “Happy Halloween” decoration and stuck some cute paper bats above it. When students arrive they can see a picture of a jack-o’-lantern with the words “trick or treat” on the school door. When they come in and leave, they can see some drawing of witches, ghosts, etc. on the inside of the school door, which that I drew with a 7 year old student.
I think making students smile, laugh and relax are important and I am happy my decorations can help me do that. At the same time, I enjoyed making, buying and putting up the decorations! Have a happy Halloween!
