On Halloween I learnt a lot about trying to maintain a classroom atmosphere while celebrating the holiday. One thing that I learnt is to have the children not come to school in their costume, but to have them change into them at lunch. This way the students can still concentrate on learning in the morning and then they can enjoy the Halloween celebration after lunch. I saw that this really benefited the students because the day wasn’t a right off, they were able to participate in active learning activities that also incorporated the theme of Halloween.
