WICHITA, Kansas - No matter their political affiliation, both Republicans and Democrats are getting a huge laugh out of a 5th grader's Halloween costume of choice. Plenty of jokes have been made about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's hair this election season, but one Kansas 5th grader and his mother have taken it to a whole new level.

Gage DeVader is wearing a costume modeled completely after Trump's hair, but it's much more than just a wig. The costume is actually a giant comb-over, fashioned out of a jumbo-sized umbrella and grass table skirts. The hairdo dress-up is so large that Gage's mom had to cut a peep hole in his "Make America Great Again" red hat just so the 10-year-old could see where he's going.

"It certainly is heavy," Gage told KSNW. "It's the biggest deal of my life that I have had so far." "Gage is in 5th grade, so I wanted to do something really funny and really unique for this last year that he would be able to wear a costume to school. I just figured it would make our friends and family laugh. I never imagined it would blow up like it has," Gage's mother and costume designer Jessica DeVader said. Some of the elaborate costumes DeVader has designed for her son in the past include the fortune teller Zoltar and Sharknado. Gage's costume has gained national attention and has gone viral on social media.

Political opinions aside, Gage is giving the country a much needed laugh during a bitterly contested election campaign.

BALTIMORE (WBFF) -- Eighteen men have been stuck aboard a carrier ship in the Baltimore Harbor for more than a month.

The Newlead Granadino, based out of Malta, was already having engine issues before arriving in Baltimore.

It was only supposed to be in town for a few days to deliver asphalt.

And then their problems got worse.

Amazon will hold hiring events in Baltimore during the first two weeks of November to staff up for the holiday season.

Amazon announced in October plans to hire 120,000 seasonal positions at its customer service sites, and sorting and fulfillment centers across the country. At its fulfillment center in Baltimore, Amazon is seeking part-time and full-time associates to sort, wrap and ship orders, according to its jobs website.

The e-commerce company will hold hiring events at the Pier 5 Hotel in Baltimore from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today through Friday and November 7 and 8.

Six people were killed and 10 more injured Tuesday morning when a school bus hit a car, then veered into oncoming traffic and ripped through the side of a Maryland Transit Administration bus in Southwest Baltimore, police said.

The school bus driver and five people on the MTA bus died in the crash in the 3800 block of Frederick Avenue in Irvington, officials said. No students were on the school bus during the crash.

The yellow school bus — headed east on Frederick before 7 a.m. — rear-ended a gray Ford Mustang at Monastery Avenue, struck a cement pillar at the entrance to Loudon Park Cemetery, then continued another block down the road before smashing through the driver's side front of the MTA bus, police said. The two buses remained jack-knifed into each other hours later. A bystander said the force of the collision "shook the ground."

Picture a school where the students move around the room freely, choosing work that interests them and sitting or standing to complete it, totally focused and engaged. Imagine a classroom where the teacher never lectures from the front of the room, but moves from student to student, observing their progress, encouraging, suggesting, and guiding. At one table, the teacher gives a kriah lesson to a few students while another student learns math concepts by manipulating a trinomial cube. The work is hands-on. Everyone learns at their own pace.

For many families, this sounds like a dream, but for the past seven years, this scene has been a reality at Darchei Noam Montessori. Until now, this educational experience has been reserved for a few lucky three- to six-year-olds, but starting next fall, Darchei Noam will expand into first through third grades.

Hilchot Haloween
1) No trick or treating until sundown. This year not before 5:28PM in Jerusalem. 6:08PM if you hold by Rabbeinu Tam. Children may trick or treat earlier for Chinuch, but it’s preferable if they wait until the zman.
2) A scary costume is preferable, but b’dieved, one dressed as a princess or Power Ranger has fulfilled the obligation of dressing up.
3) One who turns off the lights and pretends to be away is called a sinner!

Having little helpers in the kitchen means spending quality time with little ones while teaching them so many things. There’s math – if half a cup is called for, but I can only find the one-cup measuring cup, how much do we need? How do we double a recipe, etc.? There’s real-life responsibility – oops, I dropped the peanuts all over the floor, how do we clean that up? There’s real-life problem solving – I don’t have any black beans, what can we do? (Use red beans? Leave it out? Ask a neighbor?) And one of the most important lessons in my mind – hey, I really like you and want to spend some time with you (and I think you’re clever and important and can help me figure this stuff out). (Disclaimer: there might be a tad bit more of a mess to clean up.)

Parents frequently complain: “How are we going to address and meet all our children’s needs?” “It’s so hard to be a parent today.” “How do I make my children happy?” Teachers complain: “Why is he/she so difficult?” “Always with questions, what about answers?” “Some of his/her questions are like attacks on Yiddishkeit, Hashem, or what I’m teaching!”

I address all of these complaints with the following two premises:

Premise #1: We know very little of how and what our students are thinking.

Premise #2: We know very little about our students’ true needs.
