Pumpkins, Witches, and Ghosts, oh my!

Hello everyone,

Now that the Halloween puente has passed I wanted to update you on some of the things we did at school. Over the past few weeks in October I got the chance to share some of the history on the festival of Halloween. It turns out it actually isn't originally from the United States, but from Ireland, England and Northern France. Here are some pictures of the presentation I shared with some of the classes.

Sharing the origins of Halloween with Beatriz's 5th C class 

As most of you know from the blog from last year, Halloween is celebrated on October 31st and many people dress up, go to parties, go trick or treating, carve pumpkins, and go to haunted houses. This was all vocabulary included in the english classes. Here is a craft I did in some english classes of a paper pumpkin lantern.
