Halloween
Take-Home Kit- we included fun items
in a ziploc bag and sent them home with parents at a
Halloween School Event. The instructions are in English
and Spanish, the activities are grade specific and academically
related to concepts that children are learning in class.
The items included in each bag were: a Halloween pencil,
pencil sharpener, small package of candy corns, bouncy
ball, small box of crayons, glue stick, safety scissors,
instructions, a journal booklet (with blank sheets inside)
and pictures to cut out. We ordered many of the items
from Oriental Trading Company and each bag cost approximately
$1.50. This kit provides children who might lack financial
resources with items they can use year-round to complete
homework assignments.
