Monsters and Halloween Week 4

Halloween means doorsteps draped with costumed Frankensteins, witches, ghosts, ghouls, and vampires, and this is usually all children can talk about as the excitement builds. So naturally, this last week of the Monsters and Halloween theme focuses on those dependable monsters who show up every October 31st. To keep with the mood of excitement, the week's book of choice is Just Say Boo! Its letter is N and its color is black in celebration of Halloween night. Children continue to interact with basic shapes, but in addition to recognizing and naming the shapes, they work on developing prewriting skills via tracing excercises. Read on to fill your lesson plan book with a week's worth of teaching and learning treats.
