Happy Halloween!

"The witches are out, and they're flying about..." at this time of year! Happy Halloween class! At this time of year, as the seasons are changing, and the leaves are falling, and the cold is coming quickly. You may have noticed the jack-o-lanterns in windows and the creepy decorations that have been put up on homes. This American holiday is one for people who loved to get scared. A popular activity that children do on Halloween is trick-or-treating. This tradition consists of children dressing up in petrifying costumes, ringing doorbells on a quest for candy, and causing a bit of mischief with friends. As I have become more mature, I miss the days that I could be entertained by costumes and a brisk walk around the neighborhood with my friends. We didn’t cause too much mischief, but we always came home with a load of candy.

Jack-o-Lantern- A carved pumpkin with a light inside
Creepy- A skin tingling scare
