Today I visited a classroom and they had their Halloween party. The students did a lot of Halloween activities. For example, coloring pumpkins, making ghosts, and making witches hands out of popcorn. There was a lot of food and it really seemed like the students were having a lot of fun. It is interesting to see the kids in a more informal environments when they are not doing work. There was one student that loved doing the artwork and stayed to himself, something I did not expect of him. One of the girls was constantly doing cheers and cheerleading for the class and I had never known before that she enjoyed cheerleading. All the students and teachers had a lot of fun and it was something that i really enjoyed seeing.

It was also interesting to see them using technology at their Halloween party. The students were able to play vocabulary Halloween games on the computer. The students loved doing this because they were able to use technology. All of the students wanted to do this activity first because of the involvement of technology and it really helped me realize how much technology can be beneficial to these students. If using technology gets the students motivated to learn then I need to use technology in my classroom.
