Coyans in the Czech Republic

Danny came to my school for Halloween so we could show the English students what Halloween in the US is like. He dressed up as Sully from Monsters' Inc. and visited all of my classes as well as Rebekah's and Roxie's. We reenacted Trick or Treating and passed out candy to all of the students. They had to answer a question or say a sentence in English in order to get the candy. My older students (7-9 graders) also enjoyed the diversion from normal studies. We talked about the origins of Halloween, both the pagan and Christian aspects (all hallows eve and all saints day). It was an interesting opportunity. Many of them have been asking me why I have come here to CZ from California. I have had many opportunities to tell them about my faith...which is great. Rebekah and Roxanne were particularly pleased to have their Daddy at school...Danny was great as Sully...it was completely fun. Even the principal showed up in one of my classes and joined in...even bringing in a group of older students to take pictures. Here is a video of Rebekah's class wowing us with their rendition of "Eensy Weensy Spider" in honor of Halloween. (Rebekah is on the far left in a black shirt with white sleeves)
