    Halloween lessons

    Karl, here is a lesson I use...sorry it is not language arts, but it is math.

    I program a sheet for each student to create a Math Monster. Here is how I set it up:

    number of eyes 21 - 15 =
    number of arms 4 + 4 =
    number of legs 2 x 3 =
    Monster's Body Your Design!

    The list goes on for noses, hands, spots, toes, fingers, and feet. I also leave a space for the
    Monster's Name: ____________________________

    I attach a cover worksheet to a sheet of white construction paper for students to use when drawing and coloring their "Math Monster". I program about four to five different worksheets so the math problems are not all the same for the entire class.

    I have used this activity at several different grade levels and it is always a hit with the kids. The Math Monsters are also great decorations! Good luck and Happy Halloween!
