Well I shouldn't call it a "party" since the horrible principal has banned all class parties. Typically in the past, grades pre-k thru 2nd were allowed to dress up and have class parties. Then the current principal came along... her first year she took away celebrating ALL of the holidays and gave the teachers permission to celebrate only 3 holidays...the
n last year she instructed the teachers that the 3 holidays they celebrated would NOT be in a "party atmosphere" but they could only have "themed learning centers". This year she decided that Kindergarten thru Second Grade would NOT be allowed to dress up. So literally when walking the kids to school this morning if didn't even feel like Halloween! It was quite depressing. Then 45 minutes later when it was time to take Dillon to school my spirits were lifted! Preschoolers were allowed to dress up (only reason why is because the preschool program is through the district meaning our horrible principal had ZERO say in deciding whether costumes would be worn). The kids were so excited to see each other all dressed up. It was just too cute! The first hour of school was their lesson plan for the day and then the second hour was when parents
were allowed to come in. They had 4 centers set up, cookie decorating station, wrap the pop to look like a mummy, halloween bingo, and monster feet to walk with. Dillon LOVED the monster feet station. After the centers were completed the children cleaned up and sang us a Halloween song. It was a very fun afternoon for Dillon. As you can see he definately had a great day at school. I even convinced him to take a picture with his buddy Derik and his teacher Mrs. Jeana.
