Happy Halloween!



There were so many awesome costume ideas on Twitter last year!



Donnie Piercey (Mr. Piercey) is a fifth-grade educator in Kentucky who seems to be a bit of a techie as well as having all kinds of creative ideas. I guess he's teaching remotely this fall and every morning he posts an animation that he has created for the kids to watch while they are "gathering" online. 


One of his ideas last year was to give the kids an assignment for Halloween: become a word from the dictionary in a way that portrays the meaning of the word.  Here are a few of the ideas the kids had:

(Bookish)

(Dishevelled)

(Incognito)

(Indiscernible)

As I said, Piercey has all kinds of ideas and he has a YouTube channel that gives tutorials on using Google Classroom and Google Earth that look like they might be really helpful. On his Twitter account he provides lots of helpful links to resources. 

On TV theme, there's Schitt's Creek, with Eugene Levy, Dan Levy, Catherine O'Hara and Annie Murphy. 



Are you a fan? When it first started I was turned off by the title of this popular Canadian series, and not being much of a TV watcher anyway, I never got into it. But when the series finally announced its end, viewers around the world paid it tribute, visited (bizarrely, in my opinion) the motel where it was filmed to take selfies and have used Schitt's Creek for Halloween inspiration.



Finally, how about this cute version of spaghetti and meatballs!
