Review shapes with this fun Spider Shape game.  Run off the shape tiles on a variety of colors of construction paper.  Students place a tile to the matching shape spider.  This makes a nice independent math center.  I've included a blank set of spiders for you to program with whatever.

Your students will enjoy making "Inky" the spider slider.  Use him as a review, or whole-group assess by calling out a shape and having students hold up Inky when they slide to it.  Colors can also be reinforced, as well as spatial directions: Put your spider slider in your right hand; put Inky above your head, under your arm etc.

Here's a list of my favorite October books.  Hopefully this will assist you in compiling a collection of your own.  Most of my books I acquired at garage sales, as well as Scholastic book sales.  A book is still my favorite gift to give and receive.

This is a quick and easy autumn "craftivity" with awesome results.  Completed projects make a wonderful fall bulletin board.  Students sharpen old peeled crayons and sprinkle the shavings on one of 7 bare tree templates.   An adult presses a warm iron on top of a sheet of waxed paper that covers the child's creation.  The shavings blend to make more colors.  For a bit of pizzazz, mount on black construction paper.  This craftivity will be FREE for an entire year, after which time it will be up-dated and placed in Diane's Dollar Deals in my TpT shop.
