3 Books for the Halloween Book Linky Party!

I always love a good book, so I was very excited to join this great linky party!  I have a few Halloween book favorites I'd love to share with everyone.

This story is soooo cute!  It's about a witch who runs into a few problems because everything she owns, including her cat - is black.  She tries some witch style problem solving that doesn't go the way she expects, but it does have a happy ending.  I've been reading this book for years to my students and I always look forward to reading it again!

This isn't  really a Halloween book but I read it every October. Good ole lovable Grover doesn't disappoint.  The students think the book is hilarious, especially when you ham it up!  Throughout the book Grover doesn't want you to turn the pages because he's afraid of the monster at the end.  The students get really into it and BEG me to turn the pages - hehehe.  Highly recommended!!!

Another book about monsters :)  This is a book I found about two years ago.  The "perfect" little monster does everything a good monster does - terrible messes, scowling faces, etc.  At the end he does something so horrible he scares his entire monster family - all to the delight of the students.  The ending is what makes this book a must read.  

So if you happen across these books be sure to check them out.  They would be a great addition to your Halloween book collection.  If you'd like to join this linky, or see other books suggested click on the link below to head over to First Grade Found Me and visit the other blogs who have joined this linky.

Ready for October!?!?

October is one of my favorite months. I love the scary movies (can't wait for Hocus Pocus, ok NOT a scary movie but one of my must see favs), candy, costumes and my sister's annual pumpkin carving party. Bring on the holidays!  Anyways, I have been excitedly planning and prepping for October the past few weeks.  Here are new some things I made or revamped for this year (click on the pictures to get more information on my Tpt store):

 I am so pleased with the way this one turned out.  I can't wait to watch the students fly their witch through the book!

 I'm always amazing at how the students are SO into this project.  It's one of those projects I do every year because the students love it so much. I'm excited to try out my new and improved version!

Next week we start double final consonants.  I didn't have much for this topic, so I made some activities to use.  Over the next few weeks I'll be posting pictures of all of these things in action!  Just when I think I have everything planned out for the month I keep finding more adorable things on blogs and Tpt.  I think to myself "I've got to fit that in!!!" So, today I will be doing some more detailed plans for the month with plenty of room for all the new things I find :).
