Red Ribbon Poster Ideas

As I mentioned before, each year during Red Ribbon Week, my school holds a contest for door decorations.  The level of competition between teachers is fierce!  Each one trying to "out-cute" the other. 

Now that Red Ribbon Week has come to a close, it is time to reflect on the ideas that the teachers had.

This was my door....I tied for first place most original artwork.  Beep, beep!  (Just tooting my own horn!)

This is the one that tied for 1st place with me....it's awesome!

Which one is your favorite?

What We're Reading ~ Halloween Favorites

Storytime is a MUST in a classroom, no matter the kids' ages.  Everyone loves to be read to....even adults.


Here are some Halloween inspired reads that my students, my boys, and I enjoy at this time of year:

Piggie Pie! by Margie Palatini 

This is a funny story about Gritch the Witch who wants to make piggie pie, but she can't find any piggies.  See how those sneaky piggies trick poor Gritch! 








There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat! by Lucille Colandro

This delightfully rhythmic and predictable story follows along the same pattern as There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, but with a Halloween theme.  Imagine that!






The Hallo-Wiener by Dav Pilkey

This story is one that all parents can relate to: children choosing their Halloween costumes.  Only this time it's a Dachshund who doesn't want to be a "wiener dog" for Halloween...not to mention all the other dogs make fun of him.
