It’s Halloween season! And as much as I love Halloween, it does take some creativity to maintain some sort of order in my kinder classroom! It’s like the kids flip a switch the second October hits! My students love sharing about their costumes, pumpkins, and what candy they’ll get.
I never get tired of them asking me if today is Halloween as we do our daily calendar! But…… I do have to wrap up first-quarter assessments and maintain some level of order. Plus, we are just barely blending and reading cvc words, so its very important to me to continue to provide fun, engaging activities that align with Science or Reading. Even when Halloween is right around the corner, I still want to make sure that I am helping grow as readers.
I you can relate to any of this, then check these out! I have something that checks all the boxes for the month of October in my classroom! Halloween Reading Passages and Activities.
