Fabulous Fall Linky....

 

Happy Monday....  October is almost over and I can't believe it!  Where are the days going.  Shuna at Pocket Full of Kinders, a very energetic bloggy buddy, is hosting a fun Autumn Linky Party. Head on over and link up your favorite fall ideas. 

 

Up here in the Northeast... the leaves change colors, the pumpkins and applies look so good around the colored background and my dog loves to stay outside all day.  My students enjoy doing some fall activities and they talk about it at lunch!  I have other students coming to my class to ask if THEY can work with us.  Ahhh to be 5 years old and want to do pumpkin activities.

 

  Head over to Shuna's place and check it out.

OK so here are my favorite October activities, I have to admit, my students really seem to enjoy them and this year, a teacher on the grade actually asked to have a set because the kids talked about it then at lunch and asked when their class was going to do it!  They loved the little mini pumpkins and the different activities to do with  each center.

 

 

This acticity is a counting activity and math activity that they can create a spooky story with numbers.

 

Favorite October book... hmmmm.. so many to choose from but the best one would be.

And now for the blogs that I Boo-ed

AUTUMN is in the air!

I think Halloween is such a fun time for the students to get dressed up in characters and do fun learning activities.  This year of the 12 special education boys I have,  4 of them can't celebrate Halloween for various reasons. 

So I decided to make generic literacy and math centers that do not mention anything about ghost, goblins, monsters or anything Halloween related. 

 

My favorite October activities, I have to admit, my students really seem to enjoy them and this year, a teacher on the grade actually asked to have a set because the kids talked about it then at lunch and asked when their class was going to do it! They loved the little mini pumpkins and the different activities to do with each center.

 

This packet includes 3 math and 4 literacy centers for Autumn and pumpkins.  The activity set includes differentiated activities many of the centers.

Oh and I forgot to mention I also have two other activities that I created from a previous year (I made them fancier thanks to this awesome cheveron background paper!) and one for the after school program that I do in my school.  These activties are also available.
