It's a Harvest Party....with a lot of Costumes!

The day that the students have been anxiously awaiting finally arrived! They were so surprised when their "teachers" greeted them...

I don't think they knew what to expect for the rest of the day!

Party days are always a toss up. They can be really crazy and exhausting or they can be surprisingly calm and still a lot of fun. I always hold my breath for a while to see what kind of day we will have. The morning went really well! We started with a fun Halloween seek-n-find entry task, then did a science worksheet, our reading groups and even took our spelling test! We did it! We made it through the morning with no problem. I decided it was going to be a great day....and then the announcement came.....INSIDE RECESS! Yikes! We went to lunch and I braced myself for the afternoon....and realized there was no need to wonder...we had a wonderful afternoon, too! We invited Mrs. Overman's class over to watch It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and went to PE. Then it was FINALLY time to put our costumes on. It's my favorite part of the day! Just look at these faces!
After Ms. Spilker's "photo-op", we joined the parade throughout the school. It's so much fun to see everyone's costumes. When we got back to the classroom, the moms and dads had everything set up and ready to go for our party. I am so thankful for the help!

Now, this is what I call a "pirate's treasure"....good use of your hat, Trinity!

So much help!
Our favorite helper!
It was a wonderful day! Thank you Mrs. Zepp for all of your hard work organizing the party. It was a huge success!
