Hey y’all! 

So I am happy to finally say that I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19! Overall, it was a great experience and I barely experienced any side effects. The first shot left my arm a little sore, but I was still able to move it pretty freely. The second shot left me a little under the weather for about half of the following day, but I never had a fever or anything serious. My parents got their third shot a few weeks ago, so I’m expecting to get a third in the future as well. I guess we will see!

Anyways, I hope ALL of you get vaccinated as soon as you are eligible, so we can put this pandemic to rest! 

See y’all in class! 

Hello everyone!

Hope you are doing well and recovering from all the sugar you might have eaten from this Halloween Week! I LOVE Halloween so much! It has always been one of my favorite holidays. My favorite part is seeing what kind of costumes everyone comes up with. This year, I was Giyu Tomioka from Kimetsu No Yaiba (Or “Demon Slayer” in English)! I was so happy to take pictures with other students who dressed up from the same anime. I also saw many black cats and witches, a few Harry Potter characters, a Halloween cake, and the Olympic sports pictograms!

We had a good time playing games at the Halloween party on Sunday as well. Sam and I were in charge of a skeleton building game and everyone did such a good job! It was also really funny to see how creative everyone was when we asked you to build your own skeleton!

Thanks for such a fun week! Hope you’re looking forward to more fun next year!

１０月３１日（日）、今日はハロウィンです！！！

もともとはアイルランドのケルト人たちが、日本でいう「おおみそか」にあたる日、秋の収穫を祝ったり、亡くなった人たちの魂が戻ってくる日と信じていたそうです。家族や親しい人たちの魂だけでなく、悪い霊たちも一緒にやってくると思われていたため、生きている人々はいつもと違う服（変な服？おばけのような服）を着て、自分たちに悪さをさせないようにしようとしました。ハロウィンで仮装をするのは、このためだったのです。

ハローズの外国人の先生たちは毎年すてきなコスチュームを見せてくれます！１０月２５日～３０日のハロウィンウィークだけでなく、今日のパーティーも楽しみにしていてください！

写真はこれまでに作ったハロウィン飾りのひとつです。普段はかわいい表情のおばけ（右端）が好きなのですが、このキリっとしている表情もいいですよね(^^)/

ハローズでは明日、ハロウィンパーティーを行います。

昨年はコロナ過で中止しました。

今年もコロナ対策で人数を制限して行います。

参加してくれる子たちが、どんな仮装をしてくれるのか

楽しみにしています。
