The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - A Halloween Unit
Can’t teach Halloween in your classroom? Think again!
Here’s a week long reading unit plan designed for 4th-8th graders that will begin as a simple common core short story/poetry lesson, but will end as the literal transformation of your classroom into the tranquil village of Sleepy Hallow, home of the Headless Horsemen.
This unit comes complete with 5 classic works in American Literature including The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County by Mark Twain, Pioneers! O Pioneers!

Experience
I have 23 years of teaching experience in Elementary Education. Additionally, I have been teaching a Self-Contained Gifted Class for the past 20 years in a National Blue Blue Ribbon School.
Teaching style
I teach my classroom through inspiration and motivation. My goal is to engage students in something that is important to them, and then the learning comes easy. The hook for me has always been American History. I use a year long role playing scenario where students become the United States and manage events throughout the year. And then all of my Math, Science and Reading lessons are woven into a historical theme.
