Halloween!

It's fast approaching... are you ready?  This week is going to be CRAZY.  It's our last week of the quarter, and we know all the kids will have on their minds is candy!  Hopefully we'll be able to be productive and finish assessments for report cards!

We LOVE holidays and incorporating them into our learning- it just makes it more fun, right?  Since Thursday is Halloween, we wanted to post a few of our halloween favorites.  Here are some things that we've done in the past or that we're planning to do...

Goofy Pumpkins!  We've been doing this project for a few years.  We originally found the idea from an awesome art teacher's Flickr page. We decided to turn it into a mini writing unit.  It makes an adorable hallway display!

Favorite Reads!  Here are some of our favorite stories for this time of year.  What are your favorite Halloween read alouds??
