On Thursday at one of my schools, I did a presentation on Neewollah. I use presentation loosely. I took in a brochure from Neewollah, a button and a program. I tried to explain that Neewollah was Halloween spelled backwards. I told them about the parades and the play. I showed them pictures in the booklet about the Grand parade. They were all interested in the pictures, but I'm pretty sure they didn't understand most of what I said. The pictures were the fun part. At the end I handed out some candy corn. That was their favorite part. Of course, what 11 or 12 year old doesn't like eating candy in class. I think next year I will send Isabel some candy corn to talk about at Halloween time.
At my other school, the teacher didn't really ask me to prepare anything about Halloween. We dressed up in costumes for the little kids and I helped explain some Halloween words in English. It wasn't a big deal to them. The 4 and 5 year olds just kind of looked at us like we were weird and they didn't really understand the process of dressing up or different costumes.
As I am here I would like everyone to eat the following foods for me at Neewollah.
1. Fried pickles
2. Gyro with lamb
3. Cheese on a stick
4. Cinnamon rolls with pecans
5. Roasted ear of corn
6.Mudslide
Thanks and Happy Neewollah!!
