Marie Antoinette, Martha and George Washington and Pocahantos visited Jordan Ridge elementary last Friday as sixth grade students gave up their traditional Halloween spook costumes in favor of historical personages. "We thought sixth graders often feel a little too old for the usual Halloween dress-u- p parade," explained teacher Joy Campbell, "so we asked them to dress as historical characters, enabling them to join in the fun while contributing to their knowledge of history." Students were asked to select their characters and discuss them with teachers. Each was given a questionnaire about their character, including such items as the dates they lived, where they lived, family physical background, characteristics, why they are con- sidered famous and quotations of things they are well known for saying, she explained. The students have spent several weeks working on their questional-res- , she explained, and by Friday had a pretty sound knowledge of their characters. When the big day arrived, they came to school attired as their choice and found a full day of activities awaiting them. Each student was asked to write a paper telling how they think the world would be different if their per. son had never lived. The classes played "Who's who," with each student giving three facts about the person they portrayed, without revealing their name, and students guessing who they were by elementary school is pleased to announce the names of students awarded "Citizen of the Month" for October.

There were three categories in which students entered their drawings: cutest, creative, and most realistic. The overall winner and "best pig all around" was Tiffany Christensen.

Third graders at Mid-valle- 4 y elementary enjoyed a Japanese meal Tuesday as the culminating activity in a study of Japan and its traditions. Teachers Laura Schaelling and Vonda Wangemann conducted a study during the past four weeks, beginning with students being invited to take a 'plane trip' to Tokyo, complete with airline tickets and passports. Each student made a folder containing items of interest about the country, and each is now able to count to ten in Japanese, to name and spell the four main islands, write a little basic Kanji, and to do a little origami, said Schaelling. The children prepared and ate their Japanese meal, paying for it with yen they have made, she noted, and the classroom was set up as a Japanese restaurant for the event, with teachers and students wearing their own version of the traditional kimono.
