Happy Halloween: Green Screen Fun!

Happy Halloween! :: Green Screen Fun!

 

Today was Halloween and our school held "Dress Like Your Favorite Book Character" Day! It was a fun way to meet some new characters!


In the morning, students took turns taking a photo of their book and then posing like the character. Using our iPads and the Do Ink app we were able to quickly make some outstanding images!


Paid app (I am not being paid to endorse this product.) 



Behold! Meet our favorite book characters!











































In the afternoon, the room moms and volunteers put on a spook-tacular party! 

We had six stations: a Ghoulish Pumpkin Carving (Tangerine decorating) a Ghostly Maze, a Gargantuan Pumpkin Measurement Station, a Frightful Spider Creation Station, a Mysterious 3D building Creation, and a Sweet Donut Bobbing Treat . 
What fun the third graders had!













We ended our fun with a Halloween story


What did you think of our green screen images?

Leave a comment as if you are that character still! Strike up a conversation with a book character! (do not use real names.)

What new book will you be reading?

    Hi Class. This is Meredith Dylan's mom. I'm sorry I didn't get to attend your class Halloween party. The pictures are great. I love the game in the laundry basket. If I understand it correctly, it looks like the game operation where you have to get an item out of the basket without touching the strings. I also love the orange jack- o- lanterns.

    What was your favorite part of the Halloween party?

    2. Hi Brooke , I also enjoyed operation. I liked the pumpkin decorating too. I thought the party was whimsical and a special Halloween celebration with all treats and no tricks! I personally liked the donut hanging my face was covered in powdered sugar! Did you like the party ? did you have a favorite station ? why do you like it ?

    1. Hey Carly! My favorite part of halloween was when I got to scare my cousin! For halloween I was supposed to be a banana but the costume didn't come in time. So instead I was a guy in a black cloak I covered my face in a black hood. I didn't only scare my cousin I also scared random people! some people just jumped,some screamed! I trick or treated in my neighboorhood. I went with my cousins Max and Rafiella,and my friend Karl.anyways this was a great halloween was great! I hope I get even more candy next year then I did this year!

    2. Hey, Carly thanks for replying. I felt lonely for a second there but then you replied so I'm okay.Oh and [typing mistake] I wrote just Halloween instead of Halloween costume which I was jellyfish with my cousins and we made our costumes and we weren't done. It was hard getting through the crowds cause we were with other people and the other people wanted to go to a crowded town.Ugh its a long story.Anyway my favorite part was spending time with my friends and celebrating with them.BBBBBYYYYYYYEEEEE!!!!

    1. Hi, my name is Amit. I have a team for soccer and basketball. Do you have a soccer team or a basketball team for girls? I love my Soccer team it is the best. I have 9 players in my team do you have 9 players in your team? In my basketball team I have 8 players. In my first day of basketball I had a person called Liam and he didn't come, I think he was sick. If we are talking about Liam He is in my hebrew lesson because I was born in Israel.

  11. Hi everyone I have a very quick question, who were you dressed up as for the Green Screen project?
    I was a witch. At first I didn't know what book to bring but when i looked on my table ( at school ) I noticed a book just lying there. I picked it up and looked inside, it said it belonged to Ms. Tulbure. ( that meant it was the class library's ) I looked at the back cover and it said this story is about a witch. I was so lucky to find the book lying there. when did you get lucky? BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
