boo! bringin the american traditions to russia!

can i just say that i completely adore my children? they are so dang precious and i just love them a lot. that being said, as their american english teachers, and halloween not being a big deal here, we try to bring them a little bit of our american culture by making halloween a party. and we do. and they remember it. and it's great. we rotated the kids through every teacher, and had different activities for them in each room.

-pin the face on jack o'lantern

-costume dress up (this was mine)

-spider cookies

-and... i can't remember the last one.

the vice principal who is our disciplinary go to stayed in my room most the time, and helped get the kids dressed up. she wouldn't let us put any real costumes on them tho.... but they still had fun!

my babies!
