GHOSTS and OOO SO MANY FREEBIES!





Dry lima beans and a sharpie make fabulous ghosts for math activities!  We did lots of addition and subtraction stories, counting, and patterning with them this week. (Look at that little guy on the end! :)



I was looking for something else to do with my little ghost friends- and BOY did I ever find some great things!  Are you ready? I am no Theresa Caputo, Long Island Medium...only Carolyn Kisloski, Upstate NY Kindergarten Teacher- but I definitely made a connection with MANY precious little TPT ghost...  Have a look!

I decided my ghosts would live in this new/old  haunted/gorgeous house.

Wouldn't you if you were a ghost??? They practically BEGGED me to live here.   It is FREE from Winterpix Wonder! It is their Clipart: Halloween Counting Ghost-Haunted House


Before I start with more FREEBIES,  I just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you fabulous TPT Sellers who share your wonderful ideas, talents, and products.  If you download these freebies, please leave some great feedback to these sellers. (AKA 4 STARS!)  I am always amazed when I see thousands of downloads and maybe two ratings. I am even more furious  amazed when I see someone has left  3 Stars  and written "Great resource! Love it."  Really, 3 Stars? I feel like it is ME who got that rating and I am bugged for the seller!   So- enjoy these FREEBIES and leave some great loving feedback! (Don't you want to say, "Leave me 4 stars already...  ha! It's FREE!)  Enough with the rant- here we go!


Greg from Kindergarten Smorgasboard made these adorable Fall Themed Ten Frames FREEBIES.    No more plain old dots for us this fall! Thanks, Greg!
