Roll A Turkey {Adding Style} Freebie

I looked all over for a roll a turkey with adding all I could find was number identification ones. So If you're like me and want an adding one. Click on the picture below.

November Currently

First off I have to say how deeply saddened I am for those living back East. I can't imagine what you're going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Are you so ready for the weekend? I sure am! I'm so glad it's Friday and tomorrow I get to SLEEP IN.  This week has been exhausting especially with Halloween falling on a Wednesday. Can we just move Halloween to the last Friday of the month? It would be so much easier on the kids( and teachers :)). My kiddos were higher than a kite on the day after Halloween. I couldn't believe it. 

I'm linking up with Farley on her November Currently:

I just had to add this AWE SHUCKS... Lately I am really trying to find balance between my job and family. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing out on my kids lives and they're growing up so fast. I know this isn't teacher related but sometimes it's alright right? I promised to post pictures of my little ones on Halloween. 

This is my Miss Sass....

This is my Frankenstein sweet heart. 

Motivational Monday

So true this year!

Ghost on a stick! Halloween party game idea.

It's that time of year again. When we as teachers either have parents planning a party for our classroom. Or if you're like me on several instances. I've had to plan my own Halloween party for my class. Well if you have to plan or if a parent may need an idea. Here is one for you. It's called ghost on a stick. Real original right? Anyway..... here's how it rolls: First I give each child a tootsie pop and a tissue and some string. I know that was hard. Then they tie it off and make cute little eyes and a mouth to make it look like a ghost.  when they tie it off they need to leave the string long. so they can put the ghost on the floor and be able to pull it. 

A couple of years ago we played this game at a family party. That same year we played it in my classroom for our PTA party. I found this site HERE it has a rap, to ghost on the stick. You can also watch the video. It's a little creepy though. How to Play: You need a pan lid.  We had all the kids put their ghosts on a stick in the middle of the table. Every time the rap said ghost on a stick. The kids would have to pull their stick out of the circle before the pan lid trapped their ghost underneath. You could listen to the song if you didn't want to read the rap.   

These are my nieces and nephews playing ghost on a stick. 

This is my little guy playing. He wasn't too happy when his ghost on a stick got trapped under the pan lid.  It made me feel bad that he got so upset over it. 

You could also use dice instead of the song. You could have the kids roll a dice and if it lands on a certain number the  pan lid hits the ghosts on a stick. How do you celebrate Halloween? I would love to hear your party ideas. 

Veterans

I know you're probably still thinking about Halloween and all the fun activities there are still to do! I want to put a little plug in your ear. Last year on Veterans Day we wrote letters to the Veterans. It was such a neat experience. It made my students so thankful to live in the country we live in. If you would like your class to write letters here is the site:
