5.0 out of 5 stars terrific teacher resource, August 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Fresh & Fun: Halloween (Grades K-2) (Paperback)

I really like this teacher resource because it is well organized and has a collection of student activities. It also contains 8 short reviews of Halloween books with a few activities to specifically pair with these books. It is a useful resource for a primary teacher.
