Halloween. A day of fun, candy, trick or treating, costumes. I was so happy that in Korea we go to celebrate completely at school. I couldn’t wait to see my kids all dressed up in their cute costumes. The week before we practices all the words associated with Halloween- cat, witch, monster and of course- candy. The kids all told me what they were going to dress up as- princesses and power rangers were the top choice (also convenient because we were learning about the letter P that week too!).
Before the actual day, we had lots of preparations to do. We wanted to make it special and fun for the kids (or special and fun for us?). There were many games to be planned, activities to be done and of course trick or treating. Finally we came up with these ideas- face painting, a “Frankenstein” show with a mad scientist, haunted house, and relay games. Each classroom was designated to a different activity and the kids ran around all from room to room playing. And once all activities had been finished- it was time to unleash the beasts and let them trick or treat in each room. 
Candy in Korea is not the same. Since I’ve been here I’ve yet to see a Reeses Cup. Although disappointing, it was probably best I didn’t have access to those- a minute on the lips is forever on the lips you know? The candy here is pretty much all hard fruit flavored candy. Obviously that didn’t stop my kids from going to town on those little bad boys. We had decorated candy bags earlier, so each kid had their own bag to put all their treats in.One final note on Halloween, I was very surprised and proud of my kids throughout the haunted house. It was pitch black, there were teachers popping out and scaring kids at the end of it- but none of my kids cried. I guess they’re just used to having scary Anne Teacher all the time nothing else can scare them? Hmm…
These princess girls are 7 years old, I teach them science on Tuesday
