"Scarey Tales of Horror" Library Display and List

 

This is such a good idea.  (Not mine, but Stephanie Trzeciakiewicz's.  So simply set out a bunch of the R. L. Stine books, Goosebumps, and all other Halloween tales on a similar table that are spooky and scary looking and get the kids excited to head something scary.  Even the "I Spy" and "Scooby Doo" books would work here!!!!!!!

 

 

Here's a list of some great scary  picture books for both the young and "not so brave" kids:

FICTION FRIDAY: "EIGHT KEYS" by Suzanne LaFleur

 

With a variety of covers,  this book was reviewed in our Scholastic Book Fair.  I showed a movie clip of it to the students and it is intriguing for sure.  The target audience is 9-13 year old girls, but boys could read it as well.  The protagonist, Elise, finds clues about herself and her family that she didn't understand before, as she is able to unlock all 8 doors and see each gift her father left for her.  She is struggling in school, her locker partner treating her poorly and she just doesn't fit in.  It is a bit emotional, funny, mysterious and a part self-discovery.  Here are some other helpful reviews from other readers.  (The kids at my school are all dying to get their turn to read it since they saw the trailer from Scholastic.  I think I need to get a few more copies this weekend.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Eight Keys to Discovery June 3, 2012

By Vanessa Senyk

Format:Hardcover

 

I am a homeschooling mom and this was one of the books I selected for my 10 and 11 year old daughters. This book isn't intended to be a mystery, but a journey into self discovery. Each key helps Elise learn something about herself or her family. As I was reading and writing comprehension questions I would frequently find myself laughing or crying. I think when my daughters read this and we discuss each of the rooms she opens they will also learn something about themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars I highly recommend this for an eleven year old girl October 26, 2011

By Gunner VINE™ VOICE

Precociously delightful
Category: Light adventure
Age Range: 10 - 11 years (the year before middle school)
Grade (Public school): the year before middle school or junior high school)
Preferred Gender: Boys and Girls (maybe slightly tilted to girls)

Elise lives with her Aunt Bessie and Uncle Hugh. Her Mother and Father are dead.
Elise's mother died at child birth or shortly thereafter. Franklin (Frank) is Elise's next door neighbor, almost the only neighbor (they live out in the country) and her best friend. Don't worry about this being too maudlin for a child to handle. I had to go back and reread the reason for Elise's Dad dying. All it says is the doctor told him he had three years to live. He wrote out a number of letters which he gave to Uncle Hugh. I was concerned that all this death might have been somewhat difficult to swallow. It turns out to be just the opposite. Elise has such a nice group of parent substitutes; your child might regret not having the same.
Elise is s clearly the protagonist. Frank is a strong sidekick. Amanda, Elise's locker-mate, is the antagonist.
Elise's Dad, who is dead, made out birthday letters to Elise, one for each of her birthdays. Elise's uncle gives her one at the end of the day on her birthdays.
Elise discovers eight locked doors on the second floor of the barn. Slowly she acquires the keys to each door.
Her father had placed special stuff in each room. You'll have to read the book to find out what Elise found.

I highly recommend this for an eleven year old girl.

THURSDAY THEME: When Shhhhhhhhhhh Doesn't Work

Shhhhhh! "ATTENTION GETTERS"

Is, “Shhhhhh!” not working? Well, here are a few tricks NEW TRICKS by Dr. Jean, for you to try!

Student Heroes

 

5-4-3-2-1-zero (Hold up hand and put down one finger at a time.)

I’m looking for my  student heroes.  (Make circles with index fingers and thumbs and

place around eyes like glasses.)

*Call the names of children who are sitting quietly.

 

 Special Signals

           Blow bubbles. Challenge children to look at you and be quiet before all the bubbles pop.

    T     Turn on a music box. When children hear the music they should freeze.

           Turn off the lights, play a xylophone or chime, or make some other unique noise.

Simon Says

 

Begin a game of Simon Says:

Simon says clap three times.

Simon says put your hands in the air.

Simon says touch your ears.

Simon says blink your eyes, etc.

As children join in the game lower your voice as you say:

Simon says put your hands in your lap and

listen to me…line up at the door…get out your

math books, etc.

Look at ____!

 

If you can find one child in your room exhibiting the behavior you are looking for then you can say, “If you don’t know what to do, look at child’s name.”

Magic Clap

 

Explain to the children that you have a magic signal that only your class will know about. Every time you clap your hands, you want them to repeat the clap and look at you. Practice clapping various patterns until all the children have joined in..

If You Can Hear My Voice

 

In a normal voice say:
If you can hear my voice, clap your hands one time.

In a softer voice say:

If you can hear my voice, clap your hands two times.

In a whisper voice say:

If you can hear my voice, please look at me.

Continue lowering your voice until children are focused on you.

Criss Cross

Criss cross, (Sit on floor and cross legs.)

Be your own boss. (Fold your arms and nod head.)

Sitting Chant

1, 2, 3, 4 - glue your bottoms to the floor.

5, 6, 7, 8 - hands to yourself and sit up straight.

TUESDAY'S TEACH THE BOOK "Stellaluna" with Lesson Plans

 

 

STELLALUNA by Janell Cannon

 

As many of you already know, Stellaluna is a remarkable story that teaches us sameness can be good, but being who we really are, authentically, is always best.  Stellaluna learns this lesson when she realizes that she is a bat, not a bird and that all of her urges and impulses to do things different were really part of her authentic self, a bat.  The groups of children that I have read this book to have always loved it.  They are happy that she finds her mother again, that she finds her true identify again and that she remains good friends with the birds, even though they are different than her in so many ways.  Stellaluna tries hard to "fit in" by being the same, but feels bad when she can't do everything the way the baby birds do them.  When she can fly like them, she is so happy to feel "the same", but when she lands differently, clumsily, she is ashamed of herself one more time.  I love this book because it allows for our differences while celebrating our samenes!
