Read if You Dare!

Hey, this weeks blog is going to be about Halloween!🦇 Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I will be talking about a few things in this blog post. The things I am going to talk about are the Halloween parade, the Halloween dance, dress up week, pumpkin carving, putting up decorations and Trick or Treating.

The first thing I will be talking about is the Halloween parade. The parade was held at school. The first half of the day was a normal school morning. After lunch we changed into our Halloween costumes. I was dressed up as Katniss Everdeen from the book series The Hunger Games. Most of the students were dressed up. How the parade works is that the "K's" (Kindergarten) would walk through the classrooms and the other classes would follow them. Ex. The "K's" walk through room 1,room 1 would follow the "K's" to room 2 etc. Anyway when we were walking through the learning commons we got 1 packet of rocket candy.

When we got back from the parade we watched a mystery movie that also fit with the Halloween theme. The movie was Scooby-Doo and the Case of the Vampire!!!!!!!! While we were watching the movie, we filled out a Mystery Map Sheet in which you write the characters' names. One other thing, the people that did not get their schoolwork done had to do their work and couldn't watch the movie until they were finished.

Now I am going to tell you about the Halloween dance! It was absolutely spooktacular🤣🤣 The dance was a part of the after-school care. We had a little snack and then started dancing.,There was a DJ and the DJ had a sheet of paper. You wrote your name and the song you would like the DJ to play and then the DJ would play it. We also got candy! But we only got it if we were dancing. I was dancing so I got to pick one candy. When I got tired I played "Guess Who" with my friend. The candy I picked was a candy called SweeTarts. (the two words "share" the "T") The candy was really good. The dance was fun to attend and I look forward to it next year.

The next thing I am going to tell you about is the dress up week at my dance studio. Dress up week is really simple- you just come to dance in a costume and dance in it. The first day I was dressed as a pair of PJ's. This costume is really easy to make. All you do is get a pair of comfortable pajamas and wear them. On the second day I was the Spirit of Teamwork. I found this really easy to find, all I did was buy a sweatshirt and wore it with black leggings. The sweatshirt had this printed on it.

The coolest part about my Halloween was pumpkin carving!!!! This year was the first year I carved a pumpkin! I did a basic smiley face and my dad did all of the hard complicated faces. I think all of them turned out cute. The hardest part of pumpkin carving is clearing out the inside of the pumpkin🥄 After we had finished carving all of the pumpkins we put them outside, put a candle in them and went back inside to get decorations.

You probably guessed what I am talking about now....the decor. All we did was thread lights through the railings and stuck signs and pumpkin lanterns in the ground. We also hung up a pumpkin ghost on the top part of our porch.

The last thing I did was go Trick Or Treating! I went to a lot of houses and got a whole pillow case of candy!🖵 when I got home I watched some Netflix and went to bed. I hope you guys had an amazing Halloween and if you don't celebrate it then I hope you had an amazing day doing what you were doing.
