Trick or Treat Blog Hop!

BOO!! =) It's Christi here from Ms. Fultz's Corner and my Halloween trick for you is taking over Patti's blog today! Don't worry though... I also have a treat for you. Mmmm.... treats. {Anyone else have a weakness for candy with all of it hanging around this time of year, or is that just me?} Anyway... 

Several bloggers at The Teaching Tribune have joined together for this Trick or Treat Blog Hop. It's really simple, just hop from door to door collecting some fabulous freebies and paid seasonal items. 

For those of you who already know me, you know I'm always thinking weeks ahead so my October/ Halloween has been planned forever and I'm already thinking ahead to November/ turkeys. My students have been having some trouble with three digit addition, subtraction, and money. They aren't always getting their numbers lined up neatly, carrying, and/or borrowing accurately. They're also forgetting those pesky dollar signs and decimals.

A fun intervention with extra practice was certainly in order, so I came up with this turkey math craftivity. Just look how cute that little guy is! But, before students can color and assemble the craft, they first have to solve 32 math problems and show their work on the back.  You can purchase my Gobbling Up Number Sentences {A Turkey Math Craftivity} from my TeachersPayTeachers store. 

Now you can go "next door" to discover the next trickster. Click on the picture below to take you there. Thanks for hopping along with us!

Super Saturday YouTube Video of the Week: History of Halloween

I thought it would be fun and informative for my students to watch a video about the origins of Halloween, and how the celebration developed over thousands of years.  The following video has some really great pictures, and the narration is easily understood.

In addition to this great video, I am offering a little Halloween FREEBIE just for you!  It is a set of spooky story maps for your kiddos to enjoy.  Visit my TpT store to pick up your very own copy!

I hope you like them, and Happy Halloween!
