God this sounds like some contest to win your friendship or something

Kinokuniya has some Halloween stuff now. I haven't looked at all the Halloween books we have in our collection at school, but my kids go nuts for "Go Away Big Green Monster!" It has layered pages that add on, and then remove, "big yellow eyes" and "big white teeth" and stuff like that (I change some of the words like "scraggly purple hair" to "crazy purple hair" so the kids understand everything.)

Er, oh, I can see how the wording might play out like that, but I just meant to say that I only want to buy one book, instead of buying different ones for each grade. It can get expensive is all.

It sure can. I bought two paperbacks today for Y3000 ;_; What other kind of Halloween activities are you planning to do? My school does a haunted house, costume party, pumpkin carving and a pinata every year :3 :3 Man I am so stoked about wearing a costume to school again.

Ah, that sounds fun. But I have five elementary schools in a poor fishing town. (On a related note, I'll have to order from the internet since the nearest Kinokuniya is four hours away.)

So, my schools can't really do that. Aside from story time, I plan on doing one of those Halloween guessing games. Kids stick their hands in a box that says, "eyeballs," but really it's just peeled grapes, etc.

What's your Halloween-week schedule like? Do you visit individual classes, or do a big assembly? I wanna do one of those mystery-box-feeling activities too. Are you able to do a craft or do you only have time for a basic lesson? Drawing a jack-o-lantern with emotion faces could be fun.

I sort of do individual classes (they combine grades at my schools due to the small number of students).

For the Halloween lesson, it's sort of a craft/basic lesson all in one.

1. Story
2. Make-your-own monster
3. Halloween guessing games
