Each day is starts with dressing as a theme and the teachers plan activities to go along with those themes throughout the week. The week ends with a celebration of both halloween and red ribbon. Works well for our school.

My students are going to listen to the story and do a vocabulary activity in class as well as take the AR quiz. We are also going to make a grave yard of “dead” words (over used words) such as good, bad, fun, happy, and sad. Also, because I teach in a Catholic school, we will be doing some Christian crafts as well for the season.
