Halloween in the Classroom

"Educational" is probably not the adjective that comes to mind when you think of Halloween. But teachers can certainly integrate "fun" holidays like Halloween into their classrooms. Crayola's Happy Halloween webpage offers educators fun, free, and easy crafts, activities, and lesson plans to help celebrate the Halloween season!

We like the lesson plan for the Boo! Creative Writing Banner, in which spooky stories and poems come alive in your students' imaginations as they craft unique Boo! Banner representations of the plots and characters in the stories.

Students love variations in their daily routines, and Halloween provides a wonderful opportunity to introduce some festive fun to their day!
