Halloween Acrostic and October Word Bank
The Halloween Word Bank Book was developed with second language learners in mind. The words are in the same order as the letters in the Halloween acrostic to help students transfer the words directly to the poem template that is included. The booklet has directions for two options (copying or adding to) depending on the students wants and/or needs. I use it with my emerging through developing WIDA students.

Teaching style
I believe students learn best through guided discovery used often in small groups or partnerships where they are able to discuss and question their own understanding. Being able to talk with their peers before sharing their ideas and own understanding gives all students the opportunity to process what they are learning, change perspectives, and grow their understanding and confidence. Every classroom should be a safe place to make mistakes, so that mistakes become normalized and turned into a means to grow and shine.
