ALMS halloween lesson

English as a New Language (ENL) students at Albert Leonard Middle School participated in a Halloween celebration. The students celebrated by dressing up in costumes and learning about the history of Halloween, vocabulary, and how it is enjoyed by many. Teacher Renée Wendling enjoys opening doors for students to enjoy positive and fun experiences such as Halloween. “So many things are new for them besides the language. They are being exposed to a new culture, new holidays, new behaviors, and as they say in Aladdin, ‘a whole new world’," Wendling said. They also decorated pumpkins that were generously donated to the class by Ellen Lever.
