Pumpkins, Pumpkins, and More Pumpkins!

Since tomorrow is going to be a crazy day with the kids so excited for Halloween, I decided to give in a bit and have some fun. We are going to carve a pumpkin together and write about how-to carve a pumpkin.

We are going to do some of the fun pumpkin activities found at Christina Bainbridge's awesome blog.

I also created a fun writing for the kids to do sometime this week about what happens to pumpkins when Halloween is over. I love the book "Snowmen at Night" and I thought this could be written in the same way. Click on the pictures to download. The last 2 pages are together.

Our school had our annual Bluegrass and BBQ on Friday night and each class painted a pumpkin. My class decided to paint Mercy Watson. She turned out pretty good.

Here's a picture of our pumpkin before the tiara and I added huge google eyes.

Can you believe it sold for $17? My kids' parents were outbidding each other. Hope you have a good Halloween at school. It's going to be a crazy Monday!

New Treasures Unit and a freebie

Happy Saturday everyone! I can't believe how cold it's gotten here in the last day. We're not expecting any snow in Tennessee like some of your northerners but it is going to be chilly sitting at the UT football game tonight. I've finished my next Treasures unit for "Head, Body, Legs." Here are some images from the unit.

Check it out at Teacher's Pay Teachers and Teacher's Notebook. Click on the links below.

Here's a questioning freebie for you. We've been working on generating questions while we read during reading groups. This is a form I've used to help the kids keep track of their questions.

Hope you have a wonderful Saturday!

Trick or Treat Freebie #2

I don't know if you're like me but teaching money is always difficult. Usually, we teach it after Christmas but we have a new math series. We had five days to teach money. Well, my colleagues and I decided we needed a bit more time so we are doing it for a few more days. My kiddos need a little bit more practice so I made a fun money game that you can use at Halloween or, really, any time of the year. Hope you enjoy it!
