Halloween in the classroom

I used to LOVE Halloween time in my classroom because we did many activities that tied into math, reading, science and writing.  It was a great way to teach across the curriculum while getting your kiddos excited for learning.

One of my favorite things to do were our pumpkin investigations.  The students measured their pumpkins, wrote about the pumpkin life cycle, and sequenced.  

You can read more about what we did here.

Although I'm not in the classroom right now, I've loved looking at your blogs and seeing what Halloween activities you are doing. I'm storing ideas away for when I get back but I thought I'd share some of my favorites with you! Thanks everyone for sharing such awesome ideas.
