HALLOWEEN ONE WEEK AWAY!

The Halloween Trivia Contest continues through October 31st. 6^th grade is still our best contestants, but a few 7^th and 8^th graders are catching on. Next week the IMC kicks off its first ever Try To Scare a Librarian Real-Aloud. Student may sign up to read a spooky story or book chapter to Mrs. Wilson or Miss Hagensee before or during study. So far two students have signed up to take out challenge.

6th graders will get a special Halloween treat on October 31st when Miss Hagensee visits the ELA classes with a special spooky story.

HALLOWEEN TRIVIA CONTEST ---- WOW!

The 6^th grade has taken the Trivia Contest by storm! Such enthusiasm!  And now the other grades are finding this contest. Currently 63 students have submitted at least one correctly answered question for a prize. And that number grows every day. Several students are coming close to answering all 60 questions. With 2 weeks left in October – and the contest – I will have to set aside a few special prizes for anyone who could finish all 60. And now in additional to the witch’s cauldron, there are now also prizes kept in a coffin.

Next week the IMC will start scheduling for the Try to Scare a Librarian Read-Aloud. Your challenge is to pick a story and read it to a librarian during the week of Halloween. Each reader will have 5 minutes to try to scare us. You can choose a short story, a folktale, or a book chapter. If you have a good scary idea, come to the IMC next week and sign up for a time before school or at study.

HALLOWEEN TRIVIA CONTEST

Welcome to a month-long celebration of all things Halloweenie! The IMC proudly announces the return of its Halloween Trivia Contest for the whole month of October. Currently there are 60 trivia questions about things related to Halloween. For every correct answer you get a prize.

WARNING #1 -- Your answers must match mine and I got all my answers from World Book Online (login and password available in the IMC).

Bring your completed trivia question form to me ONE QUESTION AT A TIME. I will check for duplication, then check your answer.

WARNING #2 -- You may only answer each question once for a prize.

If your answer correctly matches mine (and you have filled out the form correctly), you may pick a prize from the Witch's Cauldron. The cauldron is full of fun Halloween stuff like glow-in-the-dark spider web bookmarks, graveyard tattooes, pumpkin necklaces, treat-or-treat rings, creepy crawly things, skull and crossbones pencils, and more.

The 6th grade has already discovered the fun of our Trivia Contest. What they don't know is that they are practicing informational text skills while they earn prizes. More special Halloween events coming soon!
