Halloween Festivities!

Nick and Tatiana had a fun Halloween party at school. I should know, I planned it! HaHaHa! Seriously though, they did have a great time and all their classmates are still talking about it. What did we do? Well first of all I have to tell you that we combined Nick and Tatiana's classrooms. It was the teachers' idea and I was happy about it because that meant I didn't have to run back and forth between the classrooms, since we were going to do it in the gym. I didn't have to plan two parties, just one...for 64 kids!

First I did a really cool, kinda spooky, dry ice demonstration. I was dressed up as a mad scientist and I got a lot of oohs and aahhhs. I wish I got a picture of me doing it, or at least my super creepy demo table set up, but oh well.

Then the kids participated in the school-wide serpentine. They snaked in and out of each classroom showing off their costumes. Everyone participates in this. It is a lot of fun for everyone. Here is Nick as a green-haired, half dead, mad scientist. He came up with it on his own, it was pretty cool. His little friend (isn't she cute?) decided to be a mad scientist too when she found out we were doing a "Mad Scientist" themed Halloween party.

After the serpentine, everyone met back into the gym where I had six stations set up. There were two parent volunteers at each station and lots more walking around taking pictures and helping where needed. We did fun experiments and got oohs and aaahs and even one that made the kids jump! So fun!

Here is our cool, pink-haired mid scientist, Tatiana doing some experiments. She is testing to see which candies are acidic.


We had a Halloween party at the church as well. Here is "Super Why" Ben playing a game. There are stickers on the bottom of the little pumpkins and he has to find a match to win a prize.

Here is our Monkey Andrew playing the beanbag toss. He loved this! He loves balls and throwing so he spent a lot of time at this station!
