Getting Ready for Halloween
“Halloween, or Hallowe’en, is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting “haunted houses“, carving Jack-o’-lanterns, reading scary stories and watching horror movies.
Origin
The celebration of Halloween started in the United States as an autumn harvest festival. In pioneer days, some Americans celebrated Halloween with com-popping parties, taffy pulls and hayrides.
In the late nineteenth century, with the large influx of Irish immigrants into the U.S., Halloween became associated with ghosts, goblins and witches.” (Source: Wikipedia.com)
Even if we don’t believe in ghosts, we have to provide our students with information about this important celebration.
