Halloween

For those of you who celebrate Halloween, seventh grade is a time where your child may or may not still want to participate in themed lessons, going trick or treating, etc. Of course, there are those, myself and children included, who really enjoy the festivities, no matter how old we get.  So, if you are like me and like to add the holidays into your homeschool, but have those children,  who have either have out grown the idea or simply think it is not “cool”, you can still keep the fun of Halloween in your homeschool lessons. How? Well, you just need to be creative. For example: 

• Science- Make slime 
• History- Learn about the history of Halloween
• Language Arts- creative essay writing (let them create a spooky story)
• Field trip- a Corn maze, etc., etc., etc.!

                                          Happy Halloween Everyone! Well, almost ;)
