Common Core Pumpkin Craftivities For Reading

Now that October’s coming to an end, have your students choose their favorite fall book and do one or more of the craftivities in this packet.

Any of these activities work well for Daily 5, and are especially fun for your Halloween party day.

Completed projects make wonderful bulletin boards or hallway displays.
The pumpkin book report looks especially cute hung back-to-back suspended from the
ceiling.

The packet includes:

A pumpkin book report craftivity. I’ve included a blank pumpkin as well, so students can opt to leave it plain, or draw in a Jack-O-Lantern face.

A writing activity where students write about two of their favorite fall books
A Venn diagram comparing two pumpkin books

Another pumpkin craftivity: A beginning-middle-end retelling a story pumpkin.
I’ve included my writing samples for both projects, so you can quickly and easily make your own examples to share with your students.
