童心艺术中文学校为了丰富活跃课堂氛围，在不影响孩子们学习进度的情况下，每年都会在万圣节前的周日开展充满乐趣的万圣节活动。今年10月27日，我们童心中校开展了万圣节装扮大比拼，还为每位到校的同学们准备了丰富的节日小礼袋。

  To bring a lively, festive spirit to its classes, Madison Fine Arts Chinese School (MFACS) hosts a fun-filled Halloween celebration every year on the Sunday before Halloween. Without interrupting students' learning, MFACS brings out the costumes, sweet treats, and games. On October 27, students enjoyed a Halloween costume contest, and each received a festive goody bag filled with treats.

  看到老师们和同学们穿着各式各样、光怪陆离的万圣节服装来上课，小朋友们的眼里是满满的兴奋和快乐。每年就这一次哦，我们神奇的课堂里有黑女巫教中文，孙悟空做超能助教，崂山道士朗诵课文，热狗和皮卡丘一起下棋，独角兽、马里奥、超级英雄、仙女和女巫们还有菠萝娃娃一起作画……各个班级的课都开展得无比欢乐！

  Walking into classrooms with teachers and students dressed as witches, superheroes, and even Chinese folk characters like Sun Wukong, the kids' faces were all smiles! Imagine our classrooms where a witch teaches Chinese, Sun Wukong assists as the teaching assistant, a Taoist monk recites lessons, Pikachu plays chess with a “hotdog”, Unicorn, Mario, fairies, and even a “pineapple” all enjoy drawing! Each classroom was transformed into a Halloween wonderland of laughter and learning.

  课间休息时的万圣节“走廊服装秀”更是热闹。小朋友们排着队，在老师们的带领下，从班级走廊的顶端一直“游行”到学校前台领取精美的万圣节小礼袋，拍可爱的集体照。每一位学生都得到了好吃的点心和糖果及小玩具。一只可爱的“大黑猫”荣获最佳服装奖。小朋友们高举着自己的礼物，个个喜笑颜开，欢呼雀跃！当然大多数孩子都会遵循着老师的教导，不在学校里打开礼袋，而是要等到回家爸爸妈妈允许了以后才可以吃。

  During break, the hallway came alive with a spirited costume parade, as students followed their teachers from each classroom to the front desk, where they received goody bags and posed for adorable group photos. Treats, candies, and little toys filled each bag, and a lucky student dressed as a giant black cat took home the "Best Costume" award. Though tempted to dive into the treats right away, most students followed their teachers' guidance—not opening their goody bags at school but waiting until they got home and had their parents' permission to dig in!

  最应景的当是全体美术班小朋友们围绕着万圣节主题而创作的精美贺卡《有趣的万圣节》。小朋友们以丰富的想象力勾勒出各种各样的城堡、南瓜、蝙蝠、可爱鬼、魔法树等鲜明的形象。每一幅形色各异的作品如一幅幅魔幻画卷，展现了小画家们绚丽新颖的创意，为万圣节点缀了无尽的奇思妙想！

  Adding to the festivities, the Art and Calligraphy class made Halloween-themed greeting cards. From pumpkins, castles, bats, magic trees to cute ghosts, each card was a miniature masterpiece showing off the students' colorful imaginations. Their creations brought a magical touch to our Halloween at MFACS!

  一年一度的童心中校万圣节活动，没有多么正式，却充满了热情与欢乐，在每一位小朋友的心里留下一个甜美的回忆。祝童心的孩子们都能有一个愉快的童年！祝大家万圣节快乐！

  Our annual Halloween celebration may not be formal, but it’s brimming with joy and excitement, leaving every child with sweet memories. Here’s to all our MFACS students and a happy and joyful childhood — Happy Halloween!
