Halloween Fun!

We had a great Halloween day at school.  The students were busy in the afternoon with the parade and parties, so we made our morning fun as well.  We worked in stations to review and practice concepts that we have been working on.
This group is playing in the haunted castle.  They had to find pictures  that matched sound clues.  Lots of fun!

This group worked on a spooky subtraction game.  They earned "candy" cards for each correct answer.  The person with the most "candy" at the end was the winner.


This group worked to do a Halloween cloze activity.  Cloze is  a comprehension activity where students have to fill in blanks with pictures or words that make sense in the context of the sentence (or story).


This group of second and third graders had so much fun with this money race game.  They had to roll a dice to determine how many pennies they would get from the banker (Mrs. Berry).  They were able to trade coins on each turn on their race to get to a quarter.  It was a really good activity and the students learned a great deal about trading coins. They asked if they could play again, which is always  a sign of success in my book!

Someone traded 5 pennies and a nickel for a dime.  Good trade!


Gatlin was ready for a trade!

What a fun way to end an exciting week!
