Journal Question #4

  

Do you like to be scared?  For example, do you watch scary movies and TV shows, go to haunted houses, listen or tell ghost stories, go on scary rides at amusement parks, or take walks at night in scary places (e.g., cemeteries)?  If you do any or all of these things, why?  Is it fun to scream out loud?  As Halloween approaches, there's lot of opportunity to scare and be scared.  Will you participate in the scary stuff, or sit it out?   

Journal Question #3

I hope you have noticed that the leaves have turned color in the last few weeks in Maine, especially maple leaves like the ones pictured above.  Have you taken a walk in the woods, or on a road with lots of beautiful trees on it?  I know many of you spend your free time indoors, catching up on sleep and homework and playing video games, but I urge you all to get outside.  There are all sorts of benefits from taking a walk, from getting fresh air to seeing wonderful sights to exercising your body. Do you enjoy the outdoors?  Is there a walk you have discovered since coming to Saco that you can share with others?  How about at your home - do you have some favorite walks there?
