    I really liked the variety of links posted here. There were activities that fit well with each grade (K-12), and there were activities that related to all subject areas. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I cannot wait to use some of these activities on Halloween with my own class. I also really liked that many of these activities can be used any time of the year, especially the STEM Halloween activities. If you are going to integrate a holiday into your classroom it is important that the activities remain educational instead of just a distraction, and these links are great for that!
