Watch Your Step

 Watch Your Step 


 By Mae E Sweatt 

(Each child is to be dressed like the one he represents)

JACK-O-LANTERN-

 I am a Jackie, 
Though very small, 
I stare through the window 
To scare you all.  

BLACK CAT- 

I am a black cat. 
On Halloween. 
With Mistress Witch 
I may be seen.

WITCH -

I am a witch 
Who may carry you 
Off through the air, 
But no harm I ll do.

GHOST- 

On Halloween 
The ghosts appear, 
So watch your step 
Throughout the year.

OWL

I am a wise old owl 
From Goblin-land. 
Tu-whit!  Tu-whoo! 
I'll join your band.

GOBLIN

I am a goblin, you know, 
So just watch out 
Or you soon will know 
That I'm about!

ALL -
(sing to tune "Marching Through Georgia"
 We're off, we're off, 
New fun now to find;
We'll seek, we'll seek, 
For fun of every kind! 
We'll scare the boys and girls we see 
This Halloween night, 
So watch when through you re going!

The Scenario was written by the very famous educologist, professor Mae E Sweatt in 1927. Professor Sweatt  was working with the age groups 7-15 years. Her personal input into the sciences of  Education was concentrating on the specific lessons like Silent Reading and Drama.
By Mae E Sweatt 
FOR the benefit of those teachers who realize the advantagesm derived from silent reading lessonsm but are unable to obtain special silent reading booksm here are a few suggestions which have proved successful with seventh and eighth grade pupils who had never before had silent reading lessons.
 Pupils in these grades should be able to read from one hundred fifty to two hundred words per minute of matter within their comprehension. We have found that the fastest readers show better comprehension than the slower ones.
Full analysis of how the problem was solved in the schools of The United States Of America  was presnted in the series of articles and poems to learn- the methodology of The USA was thorough- students began learning poems and rhymes in kindergartens and problems were solved with the help of riddles and puzzles each day.
