Happy Halloween 🎃

Happy Halloween! 👻🎃

Last week, I injured my knee. Therefore, I’m having major trouble getting around (especially at my age). However, that didn’t stop me from adding our black lights for a little “glow” today! Yes, some students had to help me! 😂

A little candy and pencil treat tops off the day for my kiddos! Add the spooky background music, and we’re set!

Be safe! Have fun! Tomorrow should be a fun day for teachers!🤪

Until next time,

To Decorate or Not to Decorate?

October 10, 2022 PassionateAboutTeaching No Comments

To decorate or not to decorate? Decorate, of course. Not only do I decorate my home for special holidays, but I also decorate my classroom. When I moved from the intermediate to the middle school, I wondered if my hormonal, nonchalant middle schoolers would actually even care or notice. Well, to my surprise, not only did they notice, they LOVED it.

I think we assume too often that because our students are older or indifferent, they won’t still enjoy the little things they did when younger. Yes, I know, with some things that is true, unfortunately. However, I’ve found that even middle schoolers still appreciate the added little touch of decor.

Do you decorate your home/classroom? Below are a few different ways I’ve decorated my classroom. I have to say…it doesn’t only bring a little extra joy to my students but to me as well.

Happy Autumn!

Until next time,

Halloween Task Cards

October 17, 2021September 6, 2024 PassionateAboutTeaching No Comments

Fall is my favorite time of the year, and with it, comes Halloween. Yes!

One of my favorite classroom activities is using Halloween-Themed Task Cards to practice using context clues. I’ve used these cards many ways:

I’ve placed them on the wall for partners or groups to answer the questions.
We’ve played SCOOT- moving around the room (desk by desk).
We’ve played “Kick Me.” This is where I tape the cards on students’ backs, and they can answer the question in any order going to one another’s backs. While students are moving around this room, of course there is spooky/fun Halloween music playing in the background. Fun times!
