Yesterday was my first Halloween Party, Lithuanian Style. Actually if it was Lithuanian style it would be non existent because they don't celebrate Halloweeb here at all. My mother would be sad seeing as how this is her favorite holiday. Anyway, we leave tomorrow for our huge vacation which is why we are celebrating so early.
Anyway party time.
First: Inform students and hope they come in costume. Then frantically try and make yourself a costume from what's in the house and school. Pirate it is. Also have extra costumes for kids who don't show up.
Second: Get ready. I arrive to school very early and begin to reorganize all the furniture in the room, decorate, get touch tanks ready, etc etc. 2:45 a lady comes and posts a sign on my door which apparently says teacher conferences will be at 6pm here. Smack. Dab. In the middle of my party. What now? Thank goodness for Rosie who after already helping me helps me move everything to a new room, re set up everything and then out the old room back together all in time for my level two kids to arrive. That is not how I would have wanted to start but oh well.
Third: Children. What's a party without twenty children? This part was a little difficult because they didn't really want to listen and speaking in lithuanian, Russian and Polish were all more desirable than English to them. Frustrating to the English teacher lol. But only a few were sick and only one didn't have a costume. They were dresses so cute.
Then some pumpkin carving.
