I love October! Even though we really don't have a "real" fall here in southeast Texas, I still get excited when the calendar turns to October. I grew up in Pennsylvania so at least I have my memories of autumn leaves and crisp, cool days and nights! But Halloween is still Halloween, and it is one of my favorite times of year! For the next few weeks we'll use pumpkins, bats, spiders and all kinds of spooky things to help motivate our little ones to learn and have fun at the same time.
Last year I made these math games to add to my stations.
My class last year loved learning about bats. Cara Carroll at
The First Grade Parade has some of the best bat ideas. I can't wait to do this Venn Diagram and bat fact activity.
Gail Gibbons has some great non-fiction books for this time of year.
Happy fall, y'all! There's a bag of candy corn around here with my name on it so I am off to indulge!
