Happy Tuesday! A/K/A Famous Mouse’s Halloween Party in July
The second book my grandson picked out for a lesson plan is Mickey's Haunted Clubhouse board book. Who says you can't have a Halloween party in July? If you don't celebrate Halloween, you can divide the projects and use them in other units, like Anatomy, Chemistry, and Home Ec. Also, we used candy for counting since candy is given on Halloween, but if you don't do candy you can use a variety of other items.

Counting and sorting candy suckers
