Fall in Love with Teaching Blog Hop

By

Welcome!
And thanks for hopping over!
It’s officially Fall y’all!!
Can you smell the pumpkin spice?!!
Fall is awesome in so many ways,
but let’s be honest…
The newness of school has worn off for our kiddos.
So I have a super easy trick for ya!
Isn’t he adorable?!
I read the book The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin 
to my kiddos to stir up excitement.
Then Spookley hops around from desk to desk.
However, he will only visits students who are doing a great job!
Sometimes all I have to say is, “Spookley’s looking for a new desk.”
And everyone gets quiet!
I told y’all…easy!
I do it at Christmas time with the Grinch and Max.
And then again with the Cat in the Hat during Read Across America week!
My third graders love it!!
Now for the fun part!
There are MULTIPLE giveaways here!
First,

      I love to quiet a class with chants such as "class,class" and they resond with "yes,yes".

      I love the Spookley story! Such a great way to teach that our differences are what make us wonderful. BUT I super LOVE your idea of putting the seasonal plush on students who are setting a great example in the classroom. How amazing!!! I am so stealing this idea starting tomorrow. Thanks.
