Looking back at October:
We celebrated Halloween by reading Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds and Peter Brown. We decorated the library with creepy carrots and I incorporated it in Makerspace, too - creating fences to contain the carrots.
We also read Stumpkin by Lucy Ruth Cummins. Kindergarten enjoyed this quiet book, and it fit in well with their harvest of our school garden.
Whether they are new books or not, once you find a good Halloween/pumpkin/October book, you stick with it! Another new Halloween book I enjoyed was Herbert's First Halloween.
I also really appreciated this board book from Abrams! The pictures change as you turn the pages!
Now I am already thinking about decorating for the holidays. Will I put out any turkey decorations? I will probably have students make some in centers this week.
Another week begins tomorrow! Hope it is a good on in your classroom or library!
