BOO!!!

Hi friends!! Oh, how I've missed you so!

Things have been...well...a little busy and crazy around our house lately!!  Doing WHAT, you might ask!?  WELL....

The love and support we have been shown has been absolutely amazing!!!

ANYWHO....TOMORROW is Halloween and it's FRIDAY...our little monsters will be in rare form!
 
We have been learning about Compound Words so we decided it was time for a little craftivity...
 
I went to my go to place...TPT, of course, and searched "candy corn template" and you can choose one that you like best...I used this one (click on the picture to take it directly to the fabulous creator's TPT shot for this FREE download).

You can break the compound word apart and put it in each section of the candy corn...for example: cup in the top, cake in the middle, and cupcake in the bottom :) 
 
If you feel like getting really crazy you could give students little black slips of construction paper, fan fold them and have them glue arms and legs to the candy corn and now you could have a Class of Candy Corn Compound Words...might be a cute little Halloween/Fall display in your classroom!!
 
There is so much you could do with a candy corn template if you aren't studying compound words.  Some other ideas are: Nouns-put a person, place, thing in each section; fact families-put the 3 numbers in the family in the top and then addition sentences in the middle and subtraction sentences in the bottom, 3 different ways to make 10 or any number you are working on, the list goes on... :) 
 
Enjoy your Friday and remember...if you can't beat em'...join em' ;) HAVE FUN and Happy Halloween!!
 
Drop back by on Monday for my first "Management Mania" post!  I am so excited to share some classroom management ideas!!
