Are you looking for a few activities to plug in on Halloween party day, but still want to cover some standards? Then I think you'll enjoy this ghost-themed packet.
This quick, easy and fun candy corn craft is very versatile. Use it to reinforce circles, the concept of small, medium and large; or have students write whatever you want them to practice, on the individual sections of the candy corn pieces. (I've made examples to give you some ideas.) If you're also working on fractions, I've included pocket chart cards for a quick review.
The controversy of Halloween, makes a nice comparison contrast writing activity, where students list the positive aspects of Halloween that they like, as well as the negative ones that they don't care for. As a topper for their completed October writing prompt, students make a Jack-O-Lantern using the positive negative art form.
Make this lovely leaf dangler to welcome fall. To help reinforce color words and rhyming, a poem is included for the backside.

Venn diagrams are a quick, easy and fun way to introduce the concept of comparison and contrast writing. Choosing a partner to make a "Pumpkin Venn Friend" with, is an interesting way to do that.

After which time, it will be up-dated & put in my whopping 51-page Fall Venn Friends packet in my TpT shop. For your convenience, I've included a PREVIEW here.
This is a very versatile pumpkin craftivity, as you can choose to make it in a variety of ways. Keep things simple and do just a front and back for little ones, or make it 3 dimensional (with 3-4 sides) for older students, and pick from 3 different writing activities: measurement, adjective practice, or writing about being scared. Color choices are another option. Give students a variety of pumpkin colors to choose from, to reinforce the fact that pumpkins can be orange, red, green, or white, with all of the shades in-between.
