I seem to have been M.I.A. since the start of school! I keep making a list of blog posts and then get overwhelmed with my day-to-day and end up putting off blogging for another time…Well, that stops, today!! 

I can hardly believe we are into October already! This is a busy month for me as my daughter will turn 5, and my baby sister gets hitched!  Speaking of busy, October seems to be one of the busiest months of school too!

So, you need to change out that back-to-school display in your room or the hall; you want something cute but that also shows the kiddos’ work! I have the answer for you! Book reviews with an October theme! (I am thinking of adding all seasons to this set before too long!) 

You have been working hard at setting an environment in your room where students are excited about reading. Your students have built up STAMINA and you are so proud!  What better way to have students write a summary about what they are reading than to write book reviews on whatever book they are currently reading.  Students can pick a book review sheet from the following list:
-I’m SWEET On This Book…(candy corn stars!)
-I’m SPINNING Over This Book…(spider web stars)
-A SPOOKTACULAR Book…(jack-o-lantern stars!)
-BREWING Up a Great Story…(Cauldron stars!)
-FLYING High With This Book…(Broom stars!)
-A BOOTIFUL Book…(Ghost stars!)
