Trick or Treat!

October 30

In Ghana they don’t celebrate Halloween, but that did not stop all the first and second graders from Trick or Treating at school today! We spent all week learning about Halloween and Jack O’ Lanterns and all the different costumes people can dress in. Since we have midterm break on the 31st we celebrated it today instead. During art time the kids were busy drawing Jack O Lanterns and costumes they would wear if they could go Trick or Treating and I would pull out one group at a time to knock on our door and yell “TRICK OR TREAT!” Then Julie brought the Basic 1 class over and they got candy too. We made each kid stand in the front of the room and tell us what they “dressed as” (the candy was real, the costumes were imaginary). They loved it! Who doesn’t love a holiday based solely on getting free candy and wearing weird clothes?
