Lori from Teaching With Love and Laughter has boo-ed me!

Here is how it works:

1. If you've been booed, copy and paste the above pic and these "rules" into your post.

2. Give a shout out to the blogger who booed you and link back to their site!

3. Share 3-5 October activities, books, products (yours or someone else), or freebie(s) that you love!

4. Share the Boo love with 5 bloggers- make sure you check this link to make sure you don't boo someone again:

And while you are there... check out the other great blogs! 

Here are my 5 shares!!:

1.  This is my own Halloween unit! You can read a detailed post regarding it on Apples and ABC's. Michelle reviewed it in the last product swap. Click the picture to find it in my TpT store. It's my #3 seller!

2. The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin is one of my favorite Halloween books. It's about a square shaped pumpkin who is teased by the other pumpkins until he does something to save the day. Who doesn't love a feel good story, right?

 

3. You can get a freebie listening center paper to go with Spookley from Linda at "A Teacher's Touch". Click the picture to go to her blog!

 
 4. Ever since I saw this on Pinterest from Valerie of "All Students Can Shine", I loved it! I remember when these first came out as decorations for your house. Click the picture to find it in her TpT store. She also has a TON of other great craftivities for sale.

 

5. Finally, I'd like to share a freebie from my Halloween unit. This is a Halloween Word Scramble with the answer key. Click the picture to download it from Google Drive. Enjoy!
