Halloween isn’t celebrated in Ukraine, so we brought it to them! I was pretty enthusiastic. I love holidays and it gives us great craft ideas to make and decorate the school with. I even made them trick-or-treating bags and they said “trick or treat” each time we switched classrooms. It was so much fun. Here are some photos from the awesome celebration:
I made this sign, very proud of myself :)
Kristen made the paper plate pumpkins in art class
We made those ghosts in class, too!
Yesterday during shop class I had the kids make witch hats – they turned out quite well I think (Thanks to Kristen for capturing the moment.):

A great day, to say the least.
p.s. Apologies for the overload of posts this week but I am off on another vacation next week and wanted to get caught up. I’ll post again after my return from Budapest, Vienna & Bratislava. Yay!

Oh my! You are soooo cute! You have to love teaching because it allows you to be a little kid again! Love ya! Miss ya! MWAH!
Just caught up with your blog now and very nice to see photos of Prague and Dresden, a couple of places I’ve visited in the past. You certainly are doing a lot of travelling, are you actually working or teaching at all?? !!

Haha yes! I teach for three hours a day, requiring me to leave my apartment before 8 am and I don’t usually return from school until the afternoon. Not bad for a work day, but keep in mind I’m only volunteering :).
The hats are really neat! Great Job
