Online School Halloween Activity
On Friday afternoon the students of our K12 Online School were invited to an activity that was held in the basement of our new library. There are some great big rooms that can be used for such functions. It was great.
The first activity was that the "story lady" from the library read the kids a few Halloween stories. All the children were glued to her. She didn't do anything fancy and yet she has the kids glued to her. It was wonderful. Then the 4th grade and older students went with one teacher outside for some physical games. We were lucky to have a day just under 80 degrees for this. The younger children stayed in and were separated into four groupings. They rotated stations of a spider ring toss, bean bag toss, Halloween Bingo, and face painting.
To use up the extra time they had some Halloween music that the children were dancing to. After all the activities were over we all had treats that the families brought to share. Most were healthy choices which were very appreciated as most of us were leaving after the party to take children to other parties or trick or treating. There was also a cotton candy machine which was fun for the children as they do not get that treat very often.
It was so wonderful for our teachers and parents to go to all the trouble of putting the party together. With K12 I truly believe that my children get the best of both the public school and home school worlds.
