BOOrific Glasses for "Read the Room" Center.

BOO!  It's me again! I wanted to share some SPOOKtacular glasses that I found at Dollar Tree.  When I saw them, I knew they would be perfect for my "Read/Write the Room" center.  It's little things like this that jazz up any center.  I can't wait to show the kiddos! 

 Imagine them in your reading nook, math center or during guided reading at your teacher table.  The options are endless!  Soooooo, float on over to Dollar Tree to pick up some for yourself before they VANISH like a ....

They Creep, They Crawl, They're Spiders!

We had so much fun learning about spiders a couple of weeks ago & I realized that {duh!} I forgot to post my spider unit and our little art project here on my blog!

We had so much fun creating spiders from coffee filters to accompany our "Spiders: can, have, are" writing activity.  It's super easy ... here's how:

1. Select coffee filter and have kids scribble {with desired colors} all over it with WASHABLE markers.  YES THEY GET TO SCRIBBLE!! It is important to use washable markers so the the colors bleed well.

2.  Spray the coffee filter with water until lightly saturated.  Watch the colors bleed into each other.

 

3. Place on napkin and allow to dry.

4. Add details.

TA DA! You have your very own coffee filter spider!

To accompany this ... I am offering my MASSIVE, I MEAN MASSIVE, Spider Bundle.  Look at all that is included in this 58 page bundle for $4.99!!

What do you get when you mix Frankenstein with rhyming? FrankenRHYMES!

I drew a little Frankenstein graphic, but wasn't sure what game I could make when it hit me... FrankenRHYMES! I crack myself up! {and probably only myself!}

My kids have been ready for Halloween since September, so I have been filling their centers with many "treats!"  Your kids will have fun using these cards to play games of: Memory, Go Frank {a take on Go Fish} or Read it, Keep it. WATCH OUT for FrankenGRUMPY! He will make you lose a turn! I hope that these variety of games help your when differentiating for your class AND at only $2.50 it's a "no brainer!" {kind of like Frankenstein! Ha! I cracked myself up again!}
