My first "BOO" happened at school. One early morning, I was shuffling all my stuff--along with my coffee and blueberry muffin--feeling very sleepy and a little sorry for myself when I noticed a bag on my classroom door. It wasn't anything too fancy--but it was holding boxes of Little Debbie Bat Brownies for my whole class (plus some extra for this pregnant teacher--YAY! BROWNIES!!!), and a fun little poem and door decoration. Made my day. So I created a Boo bag for another class to help spread the Halloween cheer! Then...last night, while the hubs and I were watching a VERY scary movie that was totally freaking me out, we saw a lady outside our front door window--and we both screamed. Turns out, the sweet lady was giving us a "BOO"--hope we didn't scare her, too!!! We opened the door to a glow in the dark bucket of candy and Halloween toys for Emma! FUN! I went to Michael's today to get my Boo-ing supplies, and found tons of Halloween deals for just $1! Sweet! I made these little Frankenstein buckets to BOO our neighbors tonight:
{Green buckets + paint pens + five minutes = adorbs Frankenstein buckets}
In other news, I've started creating again! I've been in a creative slump, people. I'm not gonna lie. You know what's on my mind lately? Babies. Nurseries. Cute little clothes. Stuff like that.
{My nursery inspiration board! It's a...BOY!!!!!}
Anyway, on to the teaching stuff!!! :) It feels good to have made a few new things for my class of curious little first graders! This week, I'm teaching L blends--so I made a big practice packet called "Blends with Friends" to use during whole group, reading stations, and small group.
And, as Halloween approaches, I want to make a class-created book! Class books are one of my favorite things to do, and I NEVER seem to have time to do them anymore! :( Sadsville. We've made a BIG book together, but not one that I can laminate and put on the reading shelf, SO... I created a class- created book template called "The Spooky House". First, I am going to read The Haunted House by Eve Bunting--I love that book in all its simplicity--and I love the illustrations! Then, I will do a mini lesson on descriptive words. The kids will help brainstorm a list of describing words for a spooky/haunted house, and then I will give each student a page to fill in the sentence and illustrate!
The first person to guess my favorite Halloween candy will get all THREE of the above packets for FREE! Leave a comment and your email!!!
I have also included 3 quick owl math pages for free download below, and my "BOO" letter and door hanger for you to use to BOO someone!*****And that's my Boo for Y'all!!!!*****
Happy Halloween...and get to BOOing!!!
