Literacy/Math Stations

The kids had to pick a monster from the stew pot and write the letter  on the recording sheet.

These are foam beads from Oriental Trading. I had the kids sort them on the sorting mat below and then illustrate. The shapes were pretty simple so it was easy for recording.

Marshmallow Math Fun with BooMallows.

The kids "picked" pumpkins from the pumpkin patch and found the letter on the corresponding sheet and used a bingo dabber to find the letter.

The Pumpkin Patch!

This recording sheet goes with the game below. Good for handwriting practice.

Simple 3 or 4 letter word writing. I used the document camera and modeled this with the class.

I got these Halloween Cards at Oriental Trading. My kids love these!! Good for a center or a quick "I'm Done!" assignment.

This is from www.makinglearningfun.com  which goes with "The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't  Afraid of Anything". We spent a lot of time this week on scarecrows.

Labeling lesson. 

I got this from my October/November Mailbox Magazine issue.

I got these little felt bags at Target dollar spot. I put various card games in them. I call them "floor games". Clean up and organization is so much easier w/ these bags! I have some for Christmas as well.
