This has been an amazingly BUSY year so far, and it’s been hard to catch my breath, much less update my blog! But, better late than never, right?!  So here’s a summary of all the exciting library events we did throughout October!
     Our first fun event was our 2nd annual Monster Mash! (You can read about our first Monster Mash here).  This year, I decided to change it up a little and read a different book for each grade level.  This was inspired when I came across a new fabulous story called The Monsterator by one of my favorite authors Keith Graves! I let 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade choose between The Monster Diaries, The Monsterator, and A Halloween Scare in Texas.  Then I read Creepy Carrots for 2nd grade, The Monstore for 1st grade, and The Monster of the Woods with Kinder and Pre-K.

     At the end of October, we celebrated with our 2nd Annual Storybook Pumpkin Patch (You can read about our first Pumpkin Patch here.)  Students were given the option to bring in a pumpkin (real or fake) decorated as their favorite storybook character.  It was so much fun to hear them planning out their designs, and so exciting when their pumpkins started coming in!  If you’d like to see a video of this event, you can check it out here!  Here were some of my favorites from this year!

     If you’re interested in starting your own Storybook Pumpkin Patch, you can get everything you’ll need at my TpT store.  Also if you shop on December 1 and 2nd, you can get 28% off all my products just by using the code TPTCYBER at checkout.  Many other stores are participating in this Cyber Sale, so this is the perfect time to fill up your shopping cart with all those great products you’ve always wanted!  Happy shopping!
