halloween

halloween is a day to be creative, unique, and spooky with your costume. most schools don't allow spooky costumes, gruesome mask's, weapons, or blood. i think that is a very good idea because is still little kids in schools that can get very freaked out after seeing those types of costumes. it is good to have a nice half-half point of scary and nice. these are some grade appropriate costumes.
kindergarten: princess,funny clown,firefighter,policeman,fairy,mermaid
grade 1: funny clown,farmer,cartoon character(bob the builder e.t.c),princess, funny furry monster,or someone from sesame street.
grade 2: clown,cartoon character,someone from your favourite movie, disney character.
grade 3: clown,red riding hood, dorothy of the wizard of oz(or someone from the wizard of oz), vampire, magician,policeman,firefighter
grade 4: disney character, favourite pop star,singer,someone from your favourite tv show
grade 5: 60's/70's/80's girl/boy,person from wild west,singer, gypsy
grade 6: cleopatra,someone from ancient egypt, god/goddess from ancient greece, monster,animal,zombie,vampire,ghost.
grade 7: favourite singer/actor/comedian, monster, someone from a little kids cartoon (FUNNY!!!!), what you wanna be when you grow up.
grade 8: clown, monster,vampire, book,what you wanna be when you grow up.

these costumes you don't have to use, i just wrote them here for idea's,but if you do end up using one of them(or more!!!!) please post a picture on my blog and write some comments, so i can see how you look in the costumes. 
that's all for now;
