Halloween Week started off GREAT here at Yashima GEM School! I dressed up as "Little Red Riding Hood". She is from an old European Folklore tale, which means it was spoken before it was ever written. Therefore, several countries claim the story, and there are several original versions.

Because Disney never made the story "World famous", I figured I would need to introduce her here in Japan and I found the story book here at GEM to read to my classes...

However, on the very first day of Halloween week, in my very first class, which happened to be a Baby Class, one of my 3 year old students was wearing a Little Red Riding Hood costume just like me!! What a surprise!! I wish I had a picture of the 2 of us, but I don't! When I read the book, the little ones loved it and they all came right up close to read with me, as it is an interactive book with pullouts. We then "share the treats in my basket" at the end of the story! Surprisingly, though, even my Level 5 students wanted to read the story! Of course, I had them read it to me! I think I am having as much fun as the students are this Halloween! I am glad it is lasting a week instead of one night!!
