Crescent Elementary

Title:  My New Neighbors
Author:  Keith Faulkner
Topic:  Halloween, neighborhoods
Grade:  K-3
 
This is a fun rhyming book where neighbors from a spooky house visit new neighbors.  With each visit they bring a gift.
The students have fun trying to guess what is inside each gift.
 
 
Title:  The Widow's Broom
Author: Chris Van Allsburg
Topic:  Witches, Ghosts, Relationships
Grade:  All
 
What a fun story to read to the students with the lights turned low and your voice low and deliberate.  It is fun to talk about witche's brooms and how witches communicate one with another.  Then allowing students to predict what is going to happen with the ghost broom and the widow.
