Zander, M. (2004). Spookley the square pumpkin. Santa Monica: Lions Gare.
As Halloween quickly approaches this week many teachers, especially elementary teachers, are scrambling around trying to include as many thematic stories/actitivies as possible. As we begin our graduate class, we are building a foundation of books by starting with picture books this week as our students do when learning to read!!
Spookley the Square Pumpkin is a wonderful story if you are working on a thematic unit of Halloween, self-esteem, fitting it, math, etc. As a teacher you could use the book to talk about/compare & contrast shapes to younger children, to teach the different types of voice to older students and just as a reminder to high school students that everyone is different, but unique.
How would you incorporate such an elementary level picture book into your high school classroom? What areas of content would you work it into?
