If you have a child in elementary school, then you know a big part of their education is about our American holidays. While Halloween is not what I define as a holiday it is celebrated like one. The video below explains the history of Halloween. Both my kids will watch this, and then just a short discussion. We are also continuing with our learning of places around the world and Canada is our current topic. To see some cool videos about Canada you can find them in my archives. We will be making a Canadian flag tomorrow, and finishing up with other facts about Canada. DJ also has his other history lessons. By the way anyone who didn't read on my Facebook page DJ got elected to be club photographer at his very first 4H meeting. He is very excited. It was a beautiful day at the park for our playdate today. I love the weather this time of year.

Growing up in a Catholic country, during my days, we do not observe Halloween. While we do observe All Souls or All Saints Day, when we visit the graves of our departed.
P.S. Thanks for your nice compliments of my posts. While I consider myself as an advanced amateur photographer, I am learning a lot as time goes by.
