Halloween is one of my very favorite holidays! Why? Well, first of all, it's a chance to be something you're not. What kid (of all ages) doesn't like to play pretend?
I also love Halloween because of all the great children's literature out there! Here are some favorites!
Dogzilla is a favorite in my classroom, along with its sister story, Kat Kong!
I have 2 copies do In a Dark, Dark Room, and both copies are barely holding together! That's a good sign it's a popular book!
I also have a few Halloween related joke books, and they are wildly popular! (And a good time to introduce homophones, since most jokes depend upon a double meaning!)
I usually read a kid's version of the classic: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow on Halloween day. If I have a class that can handle it, I'll turn off the lights, but I don't want to scare the dickens out of those sensitive ones!
See the image above for this freebie sampler of Halloween No Prep Worksheets and Printables! Or, for the whole set, see the image below:
We're working on sentences in my classroom. This freebie set saw a lot of attention last week! Just see the image!

Or perhaps you're looking for some math?

My new favorite Halloween book is How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin! I ordered it this summer and I love it! It is a great book to use in math class.
