Explanation:

To build a strong introductory paragraph, we need a hook, an explanation, and a thesis. The first sentence ("To a teacher...") is a hook. The second sentence ("November 1 is widely... trick - or - treating...") explains why November 1 is unproductive in schools. The fourth sentence ("Because students... cancel classes...") presents a thesis about canceling classes. The third sentence is too vague (says "people" instead of "children" and lacks the Halloween context), so we exclude it. We arrange them as: "To a teacher, only one day is scarier than Halloween itself: the next day. November 1 is widely known as an unproductive day in American schools because children are exhausted from trick - or - treating. As a result, many struggle to focus in class. Because students are often not mentally prepared to learn on November 1, schools in the United States should cancel classes the day after Halloween."

Answer:

The three sentences used are:

1. To a teacher, only one day is scarier than Halloween itself: the next day.
2. November 1 is widely known as an unproductive day in American schools because children are exhausted from trick - or - treating. As a result, many struggle to focus in class.
3. Because students are often not mentally prepared to learn on November 1, schools in the United States should cancel classes the day after Halloween.

And the arranged paragraph is: "To a teacher, only one day is scarier than Halloween itself: the next day. November 1 is widely known as an unproductive day in American schools because children are exhausted from trick - or - treating. As a result, many struggle to focus in class. Because students are often not mentally prepared to learn on November 1, schools in the United States should cancel classes the day after Halloween."
