Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!!!

Hope everyone is having a fun and safe Halloween.

In Okinawa it was really humid and a bit rainy. On friday, the last day of classes at my kindergarten where I teach, I made Jack o' lanterns with the children with real pumpkins. It was the first time for the children and most of my Japanese co-workers as well. It was a really big hit, everyone loved it. I also had them practice saying "Trick or Treat!" and then gave them all a bag of candy and Halloween stickers as a present. They were so excited. It was a lot of work to prepare but I am glad that I did it, because the kids were so happy. I hope that I will be able to do it again next year on Halloween.

ハッピーハロウィン！！

みんなさんは安全と楽しいハロウィンは過ごせますように〜

沖縄では蒸し暑くて雨が降りました。金曜日にハロウィン直前の最後のクラスで本物のアメリカのカボチャのカボチャのちょうちんを作る体験させました。子供達や日本人の同僚達の初めての体験の方はほんとんどでした。大成功でした。「Trick or Treat!」も言う練習をしてハロウィンのキャンディーやシールも配りました。こどもたちはすごくわくわくした。準備はすごく大変でしたがやってよかったと思います。来年のハロウィンもできましたらやりたいと思います。
