Halloween Math and Literacy Activities

I LOVE FALL!
 

I love everything about it. The colors, the smell, the clothes, the food, the feeling, the weather, the holidays. I love celebrating Halloween in class. (Well, let's be honest - I love celebrating all holidays in the classroom.) I am very fortunate that we are able to celebrate Halloween (and all holidays) in our school and district as long as we relate it to Common Core.
I can't believe that I never posted about this but after A LOT of time and energy, I finally got my Halloween math and literacy unit finished last weekend!

Kindergarten Common Core

Our school is in the 2nd year of implementation of Common Core in our schools. Last year was a "trial" year and we did our best to implement it to our best ability, but with little resources. Now that we have had a full year of implementation, we know what we need to make this successful. Our school has been good about asking what we need to help us with Common Core. I can tell you one thing that will really help us implement Common Core.......the new Kindergarten Common Core Workbook.

 
This book contains OVER 600 pages of worksheet, posters, and activities! There is a small preview, which I downloaded and it looks great! Y'all - it even has cute graphics and bright colors and since it is a download format, you can print them when you need them instead of shelving a big book on your shelf and having to "make copies" from the big book. I cannot wait to start using this in my classroom. I hope you will check it out and see if it is something you can use in your classroom!

Number Fun

I'm so excited! I just finished my Number Fun 1-10 unit!
