I am busy lesson planning today, but wanted to share a little of how I fill up October with meaningful standards based learning! Here are some action shots from our learning in October from last year. I also created a new unit and it is on sale. More about that at the bottom of the post.
These games are from my October Math Centers
We also spend a week on Spiders which includes a study of expository text and a comparison of spiders and insects. This unit has literacy centers, math centers, science activities, art, and writing!
The boys in the picture below are playing exterminator! It’s a sight word game where you try not to be exterminated! 🙂
An all time favorite story and unit is Stellaluna. It is just a beautiful story and I created a week long book study along with an easy grading rubric. This unit has math, science, writing, art, and 5 different activities for reading response!
My newest unit, Plenty of Pumpkins, was uploaded last night and has 7 pumpkin themed math activities with corresponding interactive journal pages. These can be run on colored paper to add a little kick to your math journal or you can always students do the activities and put them on a regular sheet of paper if you don’t use journals.
My new Plenty of Pumpkins unit is discounted through tomorrow! Happy Planning!

October 7, 2013 at 4:35 pmI am a new subscriber and while I am not a teacher I am a tutor with School on Wheels(SOW). SOW is a nonprofit organization in Southern California geared towards tutoring homeless children. My inexperience with teaching has brought on some challenges, however, I am extremely excited to have found your blog and to invest in some of your products. Thank you very much!

October 13, 2013 at 2:17 pmDo you have a math program that you use or is your entire math curriculum taught through centers? We use Envisions so I am seriously missing out on all the math center fun!
