We're Not Afraid of Ghosts!

                                We Love Halloween Math *

    It looks a lot like Halloween around our classroom. We finished a unit on spiders and pumpkins, and we'll learn about bats and owls over the next few weeks. We read Ten Timid Ghosts by Jennifer O'Connell to mix in some fantasy fun. We made ghost houses as part of a counting retelling, and to add a bit of fun, we learned how to draw a haunted house from Art Hub for Kids/YouTube: https://youtu.be/cGM_VhNXMmo.

      Our haunted houses became our math mats. The Bunnies had fun creating addition and subtraction stories using mini Halloween erasers as manipulatives. 

     *Please note that all of my Bunnies can celebrate Halloween. If they had observed differently, we would've created a different math mat and played other counting games during this time.

                                                   

                       Here are some of our other projects using pumpkins. We experienced pumpkin bowling during our parent involvement day and used our counting skills to determine how many blocks we knocked down. 

                      We challenged ourselves to build a stand to hold our pumpkins.

                                                  Math is everywhere!
