I am really thankful to get to be a room mom for Victoria and Christian's classes. Their parties were supposed to overlap, but Mrs. Hodges was very kind to let us, Mrs. Detrick, Mrs. Leonard and I, (her room moms) change her class's party to earlier in the day so that we could all see our 2nd graders in their book parade(previous post).
We kept it pretty simple, but the kids were so cute and enjoyed it.
We gathered the class together on the rug and gave each one a ring- a bat, a skeleton, or a spider.
Those were our three groups for stations. Each of the moms helped at a station. The stations were rug-time with Halloween stories/rhymes, the giant pumpkin bean bag toss that Danny made, and decorating pumpkin shaped sugar cookies .
After the stations, they had a few minutes to eat. As they ate, they took turns pulling a funny joke out of a jack-o-lantern. I would read the jokes and they would laugh whether they got it or not. "Why didn't the skeleton go to the prom? He had no BODY to go with." Ha ha ha! "What do witches put in their hair? Scare spray!" Ha ha ha!
Lastly, the kids sang 2 cute pumpkin songs for us.Christian thought they were pretty great songs.
They were so excited to have a "party" at school.We love kindergarten.
