I love Halloween. I really love Halloween. Because I love Halloween so much, I have a LOT of Halloween books. I might say too many Halloween books, but who am I kidding? One can never have too many books! I got my inspiration from the "You've been Booed" signs around my neighborhood and the "You've been Booked" program from Shannon McClintock Miller's blog and just put a little Halloween spin. I didn't want to put any more pressure on my teacher's to buy new books for this program (October is a CrAzY month, right?), I used library books for them to trade. I bought cute jack-o-lantern bags because...well...I'm an elementary girl and we live in a thematic world! I love a theme! I just put a Halloween library book in the bag with the You've been BOOOOOked paper and a teacher name checklist and hung them on teacher's doors. Some of them were parodies (Runaway Bunny/Runaway Mummy, etc.) so I put both the original and the parody book in the bag. I chose new books, older books that are quality but never get read and some that are just my fave and I know kids will like! Teachers can read them or not- up to them- and pass them along. It gets my books circulating, introduces unfamiliar books to teachers and hopefully provides a little happy during stressful parent-teacher conference weeks.
