How to Create a Monster That Gets Noticed

We kicked off Halloween week in Grand Fashion!  We heard the story "The Ghost with Red Hair." Then we began creating our own monsters.  We talked about what would make a monster scary.  What kind of eyes are scary?  What about the lips and mouth?  Should we make fangs or vampire teeth?

So many great thoughts went into the planning and creating of our monsters.  

We will be doing things with ghost stories and monsters all week and I am super excited to share Washington Irving's class tale with the 4th graders.  Do you know the story of The Headless Horseman?  It just wouldn't seem like Halloween if I didn't read the story of Ichabod Crane and Brom Bones to my students.

We were also celebrating our 20 golden tickets with lunch and a movie (a Halloween movie--of course) in the classroom.

The day seemed to FLY like a bat at night.  Can't wait for WKCE testing tomorrow.  Any book orders, Bingo Night Slips, and Little Arrows forms can be returned, too!  Check in later in the week to see more of how our monsters are getting noticed!
