There is so much fun stuff you can do with your students during the month of October. In this blog post you’ll see some of my go-to Halloween themed resources, books, task boxes, and songs!

I love these Shapes File Folders for those kiddos who are working on identifying, matching, and sorting shapes!
Have students who are working on counting? The clipart in these Halloween Count It Out Books always made counting so much more fun for my students! They got bored SO easily by using the same old manipulatives day after day.
Another awesome way to work on counting AND fine motor skills are these Halloween clip cards. I always put a set of these in independent bins & would either put in some clothespins to mark answers – or would throw in a dry erase marker to circle the correct answer!
I also love this Halloween Adapted Book with Comprehension to work on comprehension goals – but also just to discuss what happens on & around Halloween! I like to use a dry erase pouch to keep paper waste low and reuse the worksheets with multiple students.
