Our Exciting Halloween

 

4th grader, S., shares about our fun Halloween party  

        Halloween is very fun and exciting at Double Creek. On Halloween this year, a student’s dad set up a scavenger hunt for the students. The students searched for numbered envelopes, each labeled with a student’s name. Each envelope contained a clue leading to the next envelope. Students had to use a book of codes, seat monsters for dinner, and even put together a jigsaw puzzle to understanding the clues. The students were eventually guided to a treasure chest with a code to crack the padlock.

        There was a happy and pleasant atmosphere about everything. The story of the scavenger hunt was about an octopus-squid-man mutant when he found triple creek. He hid a chest in triple creek and left hints for the “clueless” children. What he didn’t know was that the children of Double Creek are actually excellent detectives. The students had a great time solving the mystery.

    Afterward, the students had a dress-up party with music, singing and dancing.

“The way everybody got a chance to do it on their own was exciting,” M, 4th grader, happily exclaimed.

 “The exciting atmosphere almost knocked us over,” S, 4th grader, said.

“It was extremely fun, with an exciting reward at the end,” E, 4th grader, excitedly remarked.

“I liked the scavenger hunt because there were so many clues,” C, 1st grader, happily stated. 

The teacher, Sherilyn, was a terrifying emerald ash borer. Fun facts about these insects: They lay their eggs in Oregon Ashes, thus giving their larvae a food resource; the larvae eat the inner bark of the tree. This might not sound bad, but it cuts the water flow in the tree. This kills the tree.
