The Hallo-Wiener

The Hallo-Wiener is one of my favorite Halloween books.  It is so funny and the kids really enjoyed reading it.  The basic story line is about a wiener dog who dresses up as a hot dog for Halloween.  His dog friends make fun of him but at the end of Trick-or-Treating he ends up saving them from a scary monster!  Great story - please read it!

To go with reading the story we did this adorable little wiener dog project.  The kids wrote and illustrated about their favorite part of story.  I was surprised by all the different parts they chose.  They definitely had many different favorite parts - which just shows how much they enjoyed the story.

There were other comprehension pages that went along with the story.  One was to design your own costume for Oscar.  They LOVED that (and of course they were super creative)!

Scaredy-Cat, Splat!

This week we read the book Scaredy-Cat Splat!  The kids love Splat and it was a great way for us to get in the Halloween mood.  

After we read the story we talked about what happened in the Beginning-Middle-End and then also discussed what the problem was and how it was resolved at the end.  Then we put it all into this fun little Splat booklet.

They also drew pictures of Splat's costumes throughout the story.  I have some really great artists!

They really liked getting to design their own Jack-O'-Lantern faces on the pumpkin.  They turned out so cute!

Our hallway is looking very spooky now :-)
