Halloween Reading Comprehension

$4.00

About this Product:
This is an informational newspaper-style text fun to use around the week of Halloween and can be used over the course of a few days. Bingo sheets are included, which have questions from the entire newspaper. Students read the informational text about the History of Halloween, pumpkins, and traditional folklore surrounding the holiday. Then, they answer questions from the “newspaper” in the bingo grid. The bingo grid comes in 26 different versions. Having each student use a different version of the answer grid will allow you to reinforce the content of the informational text by playing a game of bingo…possibly on the day of Halloween or at the end of the week.

The questions range from vocabulary, finding the main idea, using text features, as well as finding key details.

How to Play:
The first page is an answer key, which can be used to play the game of bingo. Cut up each square, place in a Ziploc bag or container of your choice and call out questions. Students must answer the question correctly and have 5 in a row. Up, down, or diagonally. Students can use counters, candy corn, or other Halloween treats to keep track of the questions called.

We hope you enjoy this festive activity as much as we did!!! 

$5.75

Imagine your 4th grade students walking in, grabbing their folder, and getting right to work on their math morning warm-up. This printable and digital morning work helps you build a consistent routine while reinforcing the foundational math skills your students need all year long.

Do your students tend to forget previously taught concepts? There are certain math skills our students need to review consistently (hello, fractions 🙋♀️). This daily spiral review helps you cover the most important 4th grade math standards in a short amount of time.

A specific math focus for EACH day makes it easy to build a predictable morning routine.

Why You’ll L❤️VE This Morning Work

✨ Establish a calm, consistent morning routine

✨ Focus on the most important 4th grade math standards

✨ Build student independence + confidence

✨ Maximize those first 10 minutes of the day

✨ Use fewer copies (just 1 sheet per week!)

⭐️ BUNDLE + SAVE:
The monthly morning work is part of the following BUNDLES:

Short & Sweet, BUT Rigorous

This math morning work will help you consistently focus on critical content and build a routine for you and your students. Because the morning work is short and sweet but a rigorous daily review, it really maximizes those first few minutes so that you can set a peacefully productive tone for your day.

✅ The monthly morning work includes:

4 weeks of morning work
daily themes
printable pdfs (one week per page copied front to back)
Google Slides (each week is in one presentation)
Self-grading Google Forms

⛅️Daily Math Themes ⛅️
Daily themes help you consistently cover critical content AND keep your students engaged.

Mathematician Monday – Review of key 4th grade skills + early multiplication. Later in the year, this becomes Multiplication Monday.

Base Ten Tuesday – Place value, number forms, rounding, and expanded form. These problems center around our number system and place value.

Wordless Wednesday – No word problems. Students have 3 problems without words.

Throwback Thursday – Review including measurement, data, geometry

Fraction Fun Friday – Nothing says Fun Friday like Fractions! There is always a need to review fractions. By keeping it short and sweet and including a fun personal question, this may help build your students’ confidence in fractions while also keeping it fresh.

✅ Looking for a way to assess the skills covered?
The weekly assessments are a companion for the morning work and align directly with the skills covered throughout the week. These are sold separately or in the morning work + weekly assessment bundle.

❤️ Here's what other teachers are saying about the morning work:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I already have and use the Morning Sunshine for ELA and love it. I also use the assessments that go with it. I knew I would love the Math Morning Sunshine as well, and I was right. I only wish I hadn't waited so long to purchase it!! Thank you!!"
- Allison M.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I love using this morning work! I teach two classes of math so it is not always completed in the morning! It is such a great quick review of old and new concepts that students are constantly growing in their confidence in math! They learn that it is OKAY to not know how to do every problem, ask questions, and make educated guesses!
