Costume Day at School
Some kids are dressed up today, and everything looks different.. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. Some days, school has a costume day. Kids might dress as animals, heroes, or book characters.
2. Costumes are a choice. I can wear a whole costume, a small piece of one, or my regular clothes. All of these are okay.
3. Some costumes feel itchy or hot. I get to pick what feels okay on my body.
Scratchy fabric, warm masks, hats that squeeze.
choose a comfy costume take off the itchy part keep regular clothes in my bag ask a grown-up for help changing
4. My friends might look very different today. Same friends, different outsides.
5. A kid in a big dragon mask waves at me.
Who could it be? It is my friend under the mask. It is another kid being friendly. They are waving at someone near me. We do not have enough information to know. 💡 Masks hide faces, so guessing is extra hard today. Asking is the fastest way to know.
6. Costume day ends when school ends. Tomorrow, everyone wears regular clothes again, and school looks like school.
