Special Halloween Edition

All the children came to school dressed up today. We had many wonderful costumes: a bunny, a gardener in his garden, a flower garden, two cowboys, a viking, a knight, a mermaid, the night sky, a few fairies, a triceratops, an eagle, lightning, Curious George, and Goggle Man. I was a tree lady, complete with a bird's nest on my head.

There's a Nest on Your Head!
All day long, I was met with, "Miss Rachel, you have a nest on your head!" On one occasion, one of the girls came up to me and said, "Excuse me, Miss Rachel. In case you needed know, there's a bird nest in your hair." Like I didn't know it was there!


Halloween Costumes are Pretend
While playing outside, the little gardener came up to me and a teacher from another class. The other teacher looked at the gardener's costume (it was covered in all sorts of fruits and vegetables) and said, "Mr. Gardener, do you have any fresh blueberries?" The gardener said, "No." and looked confused. The teacher said, "But I see some on your shirt!" And the child sighed and replied, "Those are just pretend!" and walked off.

 Little Vikings
At the end of the day, when the little viking's mom came to pick him up, he ran running to her and yelled, "Carry me!" Mom replied, "You are a strong viking. You don't need to be carried." And the little viking replied, "But moms carry vikings!"
