Funoween!

Last Friday our entire primary wing was treated to the first ever "Funoween." Mr. O'Hara's sixth grade TA (Teacher's Advisory) group planned the event and then the entire sixth grade and their teachers helped make the day a success! Each of the primary classes was assigned several sixth grade "buddies" to help us make our rounds. The five boys and girls who helped out with our class were OUTSTANDING help! Our class (and each k-2 class) rotated through nine creepy, silly Halloween events! Our first stop was "Pin the Wart on the Witch" and "Pin the Nose on the Jack-o-Lantern" with Mrs. Cianciola and Mrs. Billen. Then we went to the bean bag toss with Mr. Anderson followed by the "Ghost in the Graveyard game with Mr. O'Hara. Then we headed off to play musical chairs (to the Monster Mash, of course) with Mrs. Gillette. We moved into the cafeteria to decorate paper pumpkins with Mrs. Smith. Then Mrs. Myhre helped us make edible spiders! Eek! Mr. Lasher was waiting with the feely bags filled with icky, yucky disgusting things to feel! Finally, Ms. Galyean taught us to play "gourd bowling." (The gourds self-destructed during the very first game with the very first class, so we played "soda bottle bowling" instead!) The kids were POOPED at the end of the afternoon! Me, too! We laughed and had a lot of fun! Thanks to Mr. O'Hara, all of the sixth grade students, and the grown ups who helped make the afternoon so much fun! Happy Funoween!



On the actual day of Halloween, each child made a spider "hat" and many wore them home! They were SO excited for trick-or-treating and candy!!! Hope you had a fun night!
