That said, we (I) decided we'd make leaves and pumpkins. All sensibilities were satisfied.
Rest of the day was busy and noisy. I'm happy that I have the hour pull-outs on Thursday and Friday!

God Hates Halloween
This is what I learned today from one of my firsties. We were talking about ideas for next months calendar pieces which we were going to make today and the idea of Halloween came up. I asked the class if anyone didn't do Halloween. One boy got up, came right over to me and proclaimed in his best serious voice that Halloween was bad, and that God hated it because it was bad and if you did it you'd go to the bad place. One of the little girls in the class (who was telling me all about it being her "church day" yesterday), heard this and looked at him and me in shock and said, "That's not true! God likes Halloween!" Clearly these two are attending very different churches.

I think you handled the God and Halloween situation very well. Hopefully the little boy won't feel the need to police the class too much on anything possibly Halloween. I'm glad you have some breaks at the end of the week. It certainly helps you get to the weekend! Love you!!! MOM
Wow, theological debates in 1st grade. How sad that the young boy has been taught that personal feelings are absolutes for all and carry such harsh punishment. Yikes. Glad you managed to settle the issue.
Hugs, Rhonda
