Halloween

Halloween is one of my favourite celebrations.  I think that it is about a celebration, and to get to have fun.  My favourite part of Halloween is that you get to dress up as whatever you want. You also get to go trick or treating and get lots of candy.

This year we can’t find a costume because everything that we want is sold out.  I wanted to be Uma from the movie Descendants 2.  She is a pirate with turquoise hair and a long blue dress.    We looked in almost every Value Village to see if we could buy the costume, but they are all either sold out or do not have the right size.

As a result, I am now going as Elsa from the movie, Frozen.  We found that costume but that’s just the back-up plan.

My favourite candy to receive on Halloween are chocolate bars, especially Coffee Crisp.  

I don't have any pets but I hear that people dress their pets up in a costume.  Do you like to dress up with your pets or maybe they come trick or treating with you?

What do you like about Halloween?  Do you celebrate Halloween? Do you have a favourite part of Halloween? Do you have a tradition?  Sometimes people listen to Halloween music.  Do you like to dress up?

Student Council Surveys & One Million Dollars

Today the Grade 4 representatives of the Student Council surveyed all the Grade 4s on a couple of questions.  They wanted to know:

A.  What charity would the Grade 4s like to support?
B.  What fundraising activity should they use to raise money?

After a secret vote (heads down, hands up), the popular choices were a pet shelter charity and an ice cream sale to raise money.

There were a lot of choices provided for charities such as cancer, hospitals, homeless people, African missions and many more.  Thinking of activities to raise money was more difficult.  Most of them had to do with food sales.

Imagine if our school raised ONE MILLION DOLLARS for charity and we were able to spend it on anything we wanted, including charities.  What would you like to see?  Would you keep it all for the school or would you donate it all to charity?  Maybe you could give half away and spend the other half on new equipment for the school?

What would you do?
