Happy Halloween!

Halloween was in the air, and while the kids didn’t have costumes, the spirit was all in the room. I was told by one of the staff members that not all the kids were familiar with Halloween, but most of them were, so I stuck to mostly familiar songs with Halloween variations, rather than too many super holiday-specific songs. The big hit of the day was I’m A Scary Witch. The kids loved calling out different things to add to the witch’s brew, and their suggestions brought many laughs.  Halfway through, the kids started to get a little more restless than usual, so I got them up on their feet, but had a hard time keeping them in a circle. Some of the parents stay around the chairs on the side during classes, but I’ll try to get them to join the circle more, especially during movement songs to keep the kids from running around too much. Plus, the more the grown-ups participate, the more everyone will get out of the classes.
