Holdiay Gifts for Your Students!
It's that time of year when we have to think of gifts for our students without spending a ton of $$$! This is what I am giving my kiddos this year!
The Holiday Bookmarks are a freebie in my TpT store and can be added to any gift book you are giving out. The holiday activity book can also be found in my store. (the activity book that I am giving are personalized but the ones in my TpT store are titled "My Holiday Fun Book!") These activity books are full of fun games and coloring pages. Add a box of crayons from Oriental Trading and you're set! If you have 20 students ... it works out to 15 cents per book ... you won't drain your teacher budget!

Pumpkin Math!
Pumpkin math activities that are perfect for October and November. There are so many fun activities to use in math centers or to do as a whole class project!
https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Pumpkin-Math-Our-Class-Pumpkin-2162324
Our class went to the pumpkin patch last week and picked out a huge pumpkin that has been sitting on a table waiting... Next week we will be deciding on what type of face this guy is going to get carved into it! We will use our pumpkin face book and our graph to help us decide. If you are at a school that is not allowed to celebrate Halloween, you can still complete the pumpkin math book and have fun estimating and checking your pumpkins weight, circumference, vertical lines, and seeds.
I have decided to use this Math Number Book for my fast finishers in the month of November.
We are also going to talk about cylinders and make this adorable cylinder pumpkin!
There are also pages for counting by 5's, 10's, and rolling a dice to double a number - great pages for desk work for your mornings.
Don't forget to check out these other fun fall packets: Into the Pumpkin Patch, Scarecrow Fun , and Jump Into Leaves

Pirates! Yo Ho Yo Ho ... A Pirate's Day for Me! Set sail for a day of learning!
Do you need to have a fun day with your students that still involves learning? I have a new Pirate Packet that is filled with so many fun ideas - your students will go home loving school and talking their parent's ears off about the best day ever! My students write about this day at the end of the year in their memory books. This is also a great alternative to Halloween if you are not allowed to celebrate it in your school. Have Fun!!!
To start with, we dress like pirates for the day! When the students enter and leave the classroom they are required to walk the plank!
Yes, it's just a left over piece of wood from my shed ... but we have quite the imagination! I hang pirate flags and have collected things over the years to add to my day like a treasure chest, parrot pen, skull and crossbones stamp - that all papers get stamped with on that day.
I use pirate phrases all day with them. The pirate phrases, note home to parents about the special day, and all activities are in my packet on TpT. There is a little bit of everything in it.

I love hanging the writing in the hall. I use a large pirate to brainstorm adjectives with the students. They can then use the smaller adjective page in their packet to write their favorite adjectives to use in their writing.

The first activity is a treasure hunt for "ar" words. There are 12 word cards included in the packet as well as the students' recording sheets. I draw up a map that takes them all around the outside of the building and ends up with a treasure chest under our principal's desk. I put gold wrapped chocolate in the chest but you could put skeleton rings, and plastic gold pirate coins, etc.
It is one of my favorite days... it's up there with Grinch Day http://carolynclassroom.blogspot.com/search?q=grinch+day and Polar Express Day! Love to have fun with my students while we learn... it's a nice break from the norm.
Ahoy, Me Hearties!

You will find a little bit of everything in this packet. There are so many activities that will reinforce what you are teaching in Language Arts but in such a FUN way! Go ahead and take a look!
