National Candy Corn Day…How fun!

National Candy Corn Day...How fun! title image

I just saw the cutest post by Jungle Learners celebrating National Candy Corn Day.  Who knew there was such a thing?  I figured why not highlight it on my blog too.  So just how can you celebrate National Candy Corn day? I can think of ways to use them in math, and of course, there are lots of printables too. In this post, I’ll share ideas you might like to use.

Language Arts Ideas

First up is Candy Corn Contractions from Chalk One Up for the Teacher.  It is perfect for center time or in teams during guided practice. Check it out for free!

Math activities your kids will love

Next on my list is great freebie for math since we can’t do all literacy related activities.  This is from Diary of a First Grade Teacher.

and from Mrs. Heather…another math center.

Now we’re ready for a little reading fun.  How about this freebie from A Modern Teacher.  You can use it with any book, but I’ll leave you with a few suggestions shortly. You might also like this word building activity for younger students too, and the final activity is for writing.
