Next, I am linking up with Chrissy at First Grade Found Me for her Halloween Picture Book linky party!

I love this time of year!! Not only are the holidays approaching and the weather is changing, but I get to share all of these fun seasonal read alouds with my class. Here are some of my favorite Halloween read alouds:

I love reading Pumpkin Circle and Pumpkin Pumpkin to discuss pumpkins in depth. We go over the Pumpkin Life Cycle and I have my students complete a craftivity. Those 2 books are my must-reads!!

I always do a bat unit around Halloween and I love using Stellaluna with that unit!!

I love using Dem Bones as a part of a Halloween graphing activity. I order packages of candy bones from Oriental Trading and after reading this book to my students, we open the candy and graph how many of each candy there are. 

My students love Junie B. Jones!! She is hilarious!! This is one of my favorite Junie B. Jones read alouds for my class. I am going to begin reading it to them this week at the end of each day.

Do you have some favorite Halloween read alouds? Go and link up with Chrissy and share them!! :)

Have a great week!,
