My Amazing Halloween


My 2019 Halloween was a blast and I had a lot of fun. I am going to tell you what amazing things I did during Halloween.

For Halloween this year, I was an ice skater with my skates on. I went with my sister, my friends, Chloe, Ivy, Charlote, and Ivy’s half sister Tessa. Chloe was from Harry Potter. Ivy was Ray from Star Wars. Charlote was Elsa and my sister was an unicorn girl. I went trick or treating with my friends because we all live in the same neighborhood. We got lots of candies! I and Chloe passed out candies as well. Sadly not many people came by our house for candies because we were the only house giving out candies on our street and we live in the middle of the block.

This year I also went trunk or treating at my school with my friends, Sofia, Ryle and Julie. We had a fun time truck or treating.

Now I am going to tell you some facts about Halloween. Did you know that Halloween is just a nickname for all Hallow’s Eve or the night before All Saints Day? According to a video back in the days, people had to dance, act or sing just to get candies. The traditional colors of Halloween are black and orange. Orange comes from the fall harvest and block represents death. Also, Harry Houdini, a famous magician died on Halloween night in 1926. According to an article, around 40% of Americans dress up in a costume and about 72% hand out candies. Did you know that Halloween is considered to be the 2nd most successful commercial holiday after Christmas? Also, originally Jack-O-Lanterns were carved from turnips and potatoes.

In my opinion, Halloween is a very fun and enjoyable holiday because it is fun to walk around in your costume.

My only wish is for my house to have lights and decorations that will attract people to our house to get candies.

Ice skating - Michelle Kwan

I did a interesting research about Michelle Kwan. Michelle Kwan was born 1980 in Torrance, California. Her ethic is Chinese and her parents were from Hong Kong. Michelle Kwan started skating at the age of 5 and went to Ice Castle Training Center in Lake Arrowhead in California. She was 18 years old when she went to the Olympics games. Michelle Kwan liked to skate a lot. I think Michelle Kwan has good performance because she is calm and relaxed. I think Kwan is a good ice skater because she made it all the way to the Olympics games. I think i am a good ice skater because i am in Basic 6. I would like to learn how to ice skate like Kwan.

Chinese New Year

I am going to write about Chinese New Year because my parents come from China and Chinese new year is February 16th. Here are some facts I learned about Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year is also called Lunar New Year. Chinese New Year was created to welcome spring but Chinese New Year does not happen on the same day every year because not all the time the groundhog sees his shadow. There are 12 symbols for the Chinese zodiac. The 12 symbols are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, rooster, Dog and Pig. The year of 2018 is the year of the Dog. I was born in 2010 and I am a Tiger and my sister was born in 2014 and she is a Horse. Chinese New Year is very important because we welcome a new symbol. A Chinese New Year tradition is putting out fireworks and putting up lanterns. Chinese New Year lasts for about 15 days. This is what me and my family do on Chinese New Year this year. We went to Chinatown and we got toys and we got clothes. The clothes I got was ...
