Today Maya was very excited due to the holiday. She completed a 4x table drill. She requested that I write for her because she was "injured" (her costume). She looked great and played the role well especially for pictures- so adorable! Maya has been more reluctant to do school work these past couple of days. I am thinking it is just all of the anticipation she has had of looking forward to dressing up today. We did not follow her normal routine, as it is a special day. After lunch she had lots of fun participating in all of the fun Halloween games and stories. It was nice to get all of the students together and share in all of the excitement of the festivities. We played musical coffins, hot pumpkin, solved Halloween riddlles, made a food craft, listened to a Halloween read aloud, played games that required memory skills and recall with Halloween holiday items, and estimation games. It was a great day for all! Afterwards I read Maya another two cute Halloween stories and we made a pumpkin mobile. I hope that you all have a great Halloween!
