Halloween, Junior One B

When I entered to my room this morning, half of my students arrived to my classroom. My question is where is my another half of students? I started to ask them, nobody answered me. I started to get angry and I was going to mad at them, at that time, half of my students showed up and walk through the classroom. Nobody saw me or said "Sorry" to me. I was more angry at them.

I opened my class with Halloween topic, I asked them, what can you see in Halloween? two students answered. I started to get angry, I raised my voice, everyone seemed to be quiet. I start to bla bla bla at them. I told them, I am not talking to table or chair, I am talking to people like you.

At that time, they started to answer my question. I had very good Halloween topic and game for them to play, the problem is they get so excited sometimes.

This class is very unique because half of the classes came dressed up with witches' hat, six of them painted their faces, and some of them had scary masks.

I mean the dressing up for Halloween in this class is not mixure of costumes, it is very unique that everyone seemed uniformed with only three topics.

This student made her own costume. I really like her Jack or Lantern and her white crown. She is not very scary, but she is very creative.
This student wore her mask, I did not know who was she until I saw her face. This child is very special in my class. Her English is ok good but she is trying very hard to speak mainly English with me all the time.
This is the group of students who painted their faces or wore a mask.

After I introduced Halloween vocabulary, we played Halloween bingo. The winner got pieces of chocolates. After playing the game and knowing more vocabulary, I asked them to come to trick or treat, so I can give them candy.
