Halloween Safety


- Discuss in advance the route you should follow. Call your parents if you plan to go on a street that isn’t on the route.

- Follow a curfew (and make sure they have a watch with them).

- Carry a white bag or pillowcase for your candy, and add some reflective tape.

- Dress for the weather. Cold weather or water absorbent materials in the rain can be very uncomfortable.

- Bring a cell phone if you can, in case you need to make an emergency phone call.

- Always travel in groups. Be sure there are at least 3 of you at all times.

- Let your parents know where you’re going to be at all times.

- Don’t visit houses that are not well lit. Never go inside a stranger’s house.

- Don’t criss-cross back and forth across the street. Work your way up one side of the street, and then start on the other.



Oreo Spiders


Ingredients:

- Oreo cookies

- Black shoestring licorice

- Icing

- M&M candies


Directions:

- Cut the shoestring licorice into 2 to 2 ½ inch pieces (scissors work great for this).

- Push the cut licorice pieces into the Oreo filling, 4 on each side, to look like spider legs.

- Place two small dots of icing at the top of the Oreo and then stick two M&M candies of the same color onto the icing to look like eyes (the icing is the glue to stick the candies on).

- Repeat with remaining cookies and candies.

Seguridad Durante Halloween

- Comente con antelación la ruta que debe seguir. Llama a tus padres si planeas ir por una calle que no está en la ruta.

- Siga un toque de queda (y asegúrese de que tengan un reloj consigo).

- Lleve una bolsa blanca o una funda de almohada para sus dulces y agregue un poco de cinta reflectante.

- Vístete según el clima. El clima frío o los materiales absorbentes de agua bajo la lluvia pueden resultar muy incómodos.

- Traiga un teléfono celular si puede, en caso de que necesite hacer una llamada de emergencia.

- Viaja siempre en grupos. Asegúrese de que haya al menos 3 de ustedes en todo momento.

- Hazles saber a tus padres dónde vas a estar en todo momento.

- No visites casas que no estén bien iluminadas. Nunca entres en la casa de un extraño.

- No cruces la calle de un lado a otro. Ábrete camino por un lado de la calle y luego comienza por el otro.


Araña Oreo

Ingredientes:

- Galletas oreos

- Regaliz negro con poquísimo dinero

- Formación de hielo

- Caramelos m&m


Direcciones:

- Corte el regaliz en trozos de 2 a 2 ½ pulgadas (las tijeras funcionan muy bien para esto).

- Empuje los trozos de regaliz cortados en el relleno de Oreo, 4 de cada lado, para que parezcan patas de araña.

- Coloque dos pequeños puntos de glaseado en la parte superior de la Oreo y luego pegue dos caramelos M&M del mismo color sobre el glaseado para que parezcan ojos (el glaseado es el pegamento para pegar los caramelos).

- Repita con las galletas y los dulces restantes.

The current formula distributes state dollars to public school districts to account for 6% of elementary school students to qualify for special education curriculum; the flat percentage drops to 5.5% for middle school and high school students.
