Spooky Smiles & Sticky Fingers!! Our Halloween Fun Day!
Today was a great day in our Junior and Senior Infant classroom. It was Halloween Dress-Up Day! We had witches, superheroes, skeletons, and fairies but to name a few. We also made some barmbrack. The children were fascinated to learn about the old Irish tradition of hiding special tokens inside. We put a coin in ours. There was plenty of mixing, stirring, and a generous helping of flour clouds floating through the air. Of course, no Halloween celebration would be complete wit
