Let's do something scary!
Hi Reader,If Halloween and all its excitement is throwing a wrench into your teaching, it's time to break out a secret weapon. Scary stories. Well, not scary, scary stories...but fun scary stories. Or fun, creepy scary stories like "The Monkey's Paw" or "The Lottery."β Once students have a taste of them, let them write their own. And, right now is the perfect time to get started with this -- so students will be ready to share their stories with the class on Halloween!

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. My breast cancer was detected with an annual screening. πPlease take care of yourself and get that mammogram! You are so important!! β |
