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.

even going into an older grade this year, i still got the first day jitters. Adam, starting his first full year at school, was probably pretty scared too, as well as Emily. Eoin probably didn't feel anything at all. are the first day jitters real, or something your mind creates? when i was younger my mom told me(and still does) jitters are butterflies in your stomach,
but now that i am older i wonder where that catchphrase started from. i looked it up on WIKIPEDIA and found it was sort of gross to think about, but i might as well inform you, rather then leave you hanging on the question. the catchphrase "butterflies in the stomach" means a fluttery feeling in your stomach. scientifically it is caused by a reduction of blood-flow to the organ. Anyway, you can look up more info on butterflies in your stomach later on WIKIPEDIA.
