Who’s that banging on the door? It’s a zombie! Due to restrictions on gathering this year, students enjoyed Halloween festivities in their classes. Students enjoyed playing Halloween games and enjoying Halloween-themed classroom activities in both FET and CET classes. They were still able to dress up as their favorite characters or costumes. Last year’s most popular costumes were related to the show, “Demon Slayer.” But this year, the most popular costumes for students and teachers were all related to “Squid Game!”
　　In grades 1-2, students enjoyed the “Bouncy Eyeballs” game and the “Monster Stack” game with cups. They also viewed some scary movies and played Halloween-themed games on the smartboard. In grades 3-4, students played the “Eyeball in a Haystack” game and also created “Dia de los Muertos” masks. They learned about Halloween-related vocabulary and some background information on the Mexican “Day of the Dead.” In grades 5-6, students enjoyed the “Creepy Cards” Halloween-themed matching game and also played “Pumpkin Golf.” The older students enjoyed reading scary stories with their teachers in the dark! In Kang Chiao Future Skills, the students experimented with “Kang Chiao Freaky Stuff,” extending what they learned from the boats project to create liquid density stacks that they could take home.
　　Although the most popular activities such as the “Haunted House” had to be canceled this year, we must prioritize the safety of our students. Let’s continue to wash hands with soap, maintain social distance, and stay safe so we can enjoy many more Halloweens in the future!
