Copy and paste the question. Remember your BLOG journal responses are a grade, and must be done in complete sentences.

Imagine you are in a store with a costume shop and one of the costumes comes to life? How do you react, which costume was it?

Trick or Treat


Have you ever gone through a haunted house? I personally do not like haunted houses and never did. I do not like the "unexpected feeling"when things are suppose to jump out and touch you. YUK! With Halloween coming I want you to think about how you feel about costumes and haunted houses. The best costume I ever had is when my husband and I were The Flintstones. We even won a contest that year.
1. Describe the most favorite costume or haunted house that you ever experienced or by someone telling you about it. If you could be anything or anyone what would you pick to wear this year?

Manners Matter


Do you notice when someone is polite? Have you ever wondered what it would be like in our world if everyone followed the golden rule? "Do unto others as you want done to you"
Students need to remember how they want to be treated and feelings get hurt everyday.

1. Tell me a time you showed your good manners and made someone feel really good? explain how you felt after.
