I love making crafts in the classroom.  Kid artwork is the best!  I love any type of craft but holiday crafts are my favorite.  For Halloween, my favorite craft is a Ghost Window Cling.  These are so simple to make! 

Plus One Math Lesson and Activity

I do quite a bit of work with students who need interventions.  Recently, one group has been working on fact recall, specifically plus one facts.  To reinforce these facts, I did this lesson and activity with them.  It could be adapted to fit other math facts as well.

Pumpkin Day Activities for the Classroom

Halloween is still a few weeks away, but I want to go ahead and share with you a favorite activity of mine.  It's never too early to start planning!

Several years ago, I started doing a "Pumpkin Day"  in the classroom instead of celebrating Halloween point on.  The students have always had a blast and never noticed any difference.  It's a great way to incorporate the season into curriculum but still keep it friendly, not scary.
