As October quickly came to a close last week, here are a few of the fun things that I did to end the month with a bang! Another fun activity that made my kids more excited for Language Arts than they ever have been before– Touchy-Feely, Creepy-Crawly, Halloween Boxes: You guessed it, I made boxes of some of the grossest, creepiest Halloween things around. After giving the secret things in boxes a good feel, the kids had to use as many adjectives that they could find to describe what they felt. It was a great way to get them enthusiastically writing! I’ll let you in on the secret ingredients: 1. Bat Bones: pretzels 2. Worms: spaghetti & oil 3. Lizard Lips: sugar coated gum drops 4. Witch Toes: mini (and very “warty”) pickles 5. Brains: scrambled eggs 6. Zombie Tongues: canned, sliced, mushrooms (yes this is from the same child who wrote a math word problem about boogers earlier in the year…) Then we got to enjoy a few adorable, healthy Halloween snacks for our class celebration. Banana Ghosts! (with chocolate chip faces) Mandarin Orange Pumpkins And not to be out done by my students, I made sure to dress up for the occasion as well. Ok, ok, let’s be real. I LOVE to dress up. Halloween is just a good excuse to do it! Scuba diving with my shark counterpart: The whole suit. I hope that you had the fabulous October that I had & Happy November!!!
