Well, I am sure you have seen it floating around blog land . . . people have been gettin’ booed right and left and it has finally caught up with me. No, I am not talking about the way you boo at the Cardinals when they hit a home run off the Giants. Nor am I talkin’ ’bout when you boo your hubs for forgetting to take out the trash. I am talking about the fun Halloween “game” that is kinda like cyber tag. Here’s how it flies . . .
If you’ve been booed, copy and paste the above pic and these “rules” into your post.
1. Give a shout out to the blogger who booed you and link back to their site!
2. Share 3-5 October activities, books, products (yours or someone else),
or freebie(s) that you love!
3. Share the Boo love with 5 bloggers- make sure you check this links to make sure you don’t boo someone again:

And don’t forget to tell them that they have been BOOED!
4. Link up {here} so that others can find you and read about your October ideas! And while you are there… check out the other great blogs!
With all this said, I am ready to get to gettin’ on all this fun. I was lucky enough to get booed by THREE lovely peeps – Tori from Tori’s Teacher Tips, Miss Nelson from Run Miss Nelson’s got the Camera, and Bunting, Books, and Bainbridge. If you haven’t checked out their blogs, you really should . . . I promise you won’t be disappointed.
October is my favorite month. Not only is the weather changing, but it is an absolutely magical time in the classroom. The kids are so jazzed about everything “spooky” and this is about the time that they’ve hit their stride (academic and behavior-wise). Here are a couple October Goodies that I am diggin’ on right now.
Susan’s mini-unit is fantastic and has the cutest craft/write ev-ah! |
You can’t ever go wrong with a Katie King ditty! |
The Bubbly Blonde is always amazing . . . and so is this pack! |
These Good Morning Work packs (reading and math) have proven to be a great resource this October. Shhhh . . . don’t tell . . . I made ’em ๐ |
I have to take a moment to slip in a quick book or two as well. I have so many Halloween books that my little display shelf can’t hold them all. I had to place two tubs on either side of the racks to get ’em all within’ the kiddos’ reach. Here are a few of my faves . . .
Now, with all that said, it’s my turn to boo a few others. So, here’s a big old BOO to the following bloggy buddies . . .
Be sure you check out these amazing blogs and the rest of the “booed” crew over at Tori’s Tips for Teachers and The 2nd Grade Pad. There are some uber-awesome resources (paid and free) being highlighted by others . . . you just might find that special activity that your Halloween file has been looking for.
Many thanks for taking the time to visit me today! I will be back soon with my latest packet (WOW vs. BLAH Sentences) and a couple more Halloween freebies!! October Break, how I love you!
