organic shape MONSTERS! This is a great lesson I do every year with my Kindergartners and I never get tired of it! It is a great lesson to teach about geometric-vs-organic shape. First, I read them the book "Jeremy Draws a Monster" by Peter McCarty. It is an excellent book about a boy who draws a monster who is not a very good friend. The students then decide that if they were to draw a monster they would make a nice monster, even if they looked mean. I just love the answers they have for everything! I give each of them a piece of string and we practice making ORGANIC shapes with it. Then they take a black crayon and trace around the string. We then discuss the elements that will make up our monster: will he be mean, nice, silly, scary, or happy? I just love these guys! History of Halloween - Halloween When Is Halloween 2024? Halloween is celebrated each year on October 31. Halloween 2024 takes place on Thursday, October 31. What is the History of Halloween? Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago, mostly in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Haunted History of Halloween In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. Did you know?

Lavoretti con i bambini: le cornicette di Halloween - Alessia, scrap & craft...Alessia, scrap & craft… Appurato che io facevo le cornicette (e le adoravo!), voi facevate le cornicette e alcune maestre ancora fanno fare le cornicette perché aiutano ad imparare anche a scrivere allenando la coordinazione e la manualità, ho pensato di preparare altri disegni per Lapo e Leon che quando hanno visto quelli dell’autunno sono rimasti a bocca aperta… Domani è il 1° ottobre e quindi per prepararsi per Halloween non poteva mancare una bella serie di cornicette sul tema. Per inventarmele ci ho messo un po’ ma il risultato non è affatto male, i soggetti che mi sembrano venuti meglio sono il teschio, il pipistrello e il fantasmino, sono proprio soddisfatta e così ve li regalo di nuovo per i vostri bambini. Cliccate su una a caso delle immagini qui sotto per vederle ingrandite e pronte da scaricare e stampare e poi ditemi se vi piacciono, come sono venute?
Halloween Halloween Traditionell Jack-o'-lantern av en rova. Drottninggatan i Stockholm 2008. Halloweendukning i Sverige. Halloween eller Hallowe'en (från engelskans Hallow, "helgon", och e'en (kortform av even), "afton")[1] är en högtid som i sina ursprungsländer firades den 31 oktober. Historia[redigera | redigera wikitext] Brittiska öarna[redigera | redigera wikitext] Liksom under andra nätter då magiska krafter var i rörelse (exempelvis påskafton eller valborgsmässoafton)[4] uppmanades alla människor av druiderna att på kvällen 31 oktober släcka sina hushållseldar. Ytterligare en tradition kopplade till Samhain var att de som gick runt ute hade med sig ljusförsedda rovor med utskurna ansikten, så kallade jack-o’-lanterns. Under 400-talet började Irland och Skottland kristnas och många av de gamla keltiska traditionerna förändrades. År 998 försökte kyrkan på nytt att utrota festligheterna. Även om kyrkan aldrig kunde utplåna det folkliga firandet förblev det inte opåverkat. USA[redigera | redigera wikitext]
