A BOO FROM THE PAST

spelling left as in the original The following are from my granddaughter Sierra's 4th grade journal October 2003: Costume, creepy, ghost, goblin, haunted, monster, pumkin, treat SIERRA 10/20/03 This is a paragraph about “The Magic Broom” There once was a little old witch who would always twich and her broom stick was always sick. And she could not fly because the broom was shy. Thear once was a creepy pumkin that was as white as a ghost white was not his natral color it was jist a costume. had a bag of treats that were made from goblins feet so have a Haunted Halloween…BOO!!! If I was a black cat I would…Run around at night, I would eat mice and Insects, I would go out on Halloween night and fright people from their sight. 10/23/03 These are some good directions for a jack-o-lantern. Step 1 find a big round pumkin Step 2 get some tools for the pumpkin, then take a pen and trace the eye like this (up pointing triangle.) and the other like this (down pointing triangle) and a mouth (jagged teeth) Take the tools and cut the shapes out. 10/24/03 For Halloween I would like to be… a vampire. I got my costume at “SPIRIT the Halloween store” and I got glow in the dark vampire teeth and I got white makeup for my face and I got long silver eyelashes. Kendra had the same costume as me so were going to be vampire sisters.
