 * 4:00/5:00 students go to computers and open Mavis Beacon
 * 4:05/5:05 take attendance and other housekeeping items
 * 4:15/5:15 gather students on the carpet and remind them of the expectations (criss-cross, hands folded in lap)
 * 1) read __Spooky Hour__ by Tony Mitton
 * 2) after the story, ask the following questions:
 * 3) who were the characters (people/animals in story)
 * 4) where was the setting(s) (where the story happened)
 * 5) explain to the students that they are going to make a spooky Halloween card to give to someone
 * 4:30/5:30 write some Halloween messages on the chart paper/white board such as “Happy Halloween”, “Have a Spooky Day!”, “Boo!” etc.
 * 1) ** model each of the following step carefully for the students **
 * Fold a piece of black construction paper in half, into a card shape. ||
 * || Make four short, parallel cuts along the fold line. They should be in two pairs. ||
 * || Fold over the flaps that were formed by the cuts.
 * || Push up the flaps made by the cuts.
 * || Draw two ghosts (or other spooky characters) on a piece of white paper. Make sure that they will fit side-by-side inside the card when it is folded.
 * || Glue each ghost(or spooky character) onto a flap.
 * || Fold an orange piece of construction paper in half, into a card shape. ||
 * || Glue the orange piece of construction paper onto the outside of the ghost card. **Make sure you don't glue the place where the ghosts are.** || ||
 * || Write a Halloween message on your card. ||
 * 1) after you have modeled how to create the card, review each step with the class by calling on students to tell you what step is next (for example, call on a student to tell you what you do with the black paper **first**. Then call on another student to tell you **where/how to cut** etc.)
 * 4:40/5:40 have students spread out around the room so they have plenty of space
 * 1) pass out **1 black** piece of paper, **1 orange** piece of paper, and __½__ ** white** piece of paper to each student
 * 2) pass out scissors and a pencil to each student
 * 3) have students share the glue sticks with each other, (one glue for every 2-3 kids)
 * 4) when students are finished have them take home their cards to give to a friend or family member
 * 4:00/5:00 students go to computers and open Mavis Beacon
 * 4:05/5:05 take attendance and other housekeeping items
 * 4:15/5:15 gather students on the carpet and remind them of the expectations (criss-cross, hands folded in lap)
 * 1) today students are going to make a Halloween picture slide show using PowerPoint
 * 2) brainstorm some ideas that students have about Halloween (you do not have to write them down)
 * 3) ex. Candy, costumes, ghosts, monsters, trick-or-treating, black cats, wolves howling, vampires, etc.
 * 4:25/5:25 gather students around 1-2 computers
 * 1) model how to use PowerPoint to create the slide show
 * 2) open PowerPoint
 * 3) in the **title box**, write “__Halloween__”
 * 4) in the **subtitle box**, write __your name__ (students need to write their own name)
 * 5) Model how to click **new slide** in the upper right hand side of the page
 * 6) show students how to minimize the PowerPoint screen
 * 7) go to **Google** and click on **Images**
 * 8) in the search box, enter “__Hallowee__n”
 * 9) model how to **right click** on the image
 * 10) select **copy**
 * 11) go back to the PowerPoint screen
 * 12) ** right click ** and select **paste**
 * 13) make sure the picture is in the text box (the bottom one)
 * 14) in the title box (the top one), model how to write a caption for the picture
 * 15) for example, if I paste a picture of a pumpkin on the page, you may label it “jack-o-lantern.” If you paste a picture of a full moon at night, you may label it “spooky night.”
 * 16) ** Repeat ** steps **d-m** two more times, so you have three slides done
 * 17) Model how to hit F5 to make the slide show. Make sure all the students know where the F5 button is
 * 18) Model how to **click** the mouse or push the **right arrow button** to change slides
 * 4:35/5:35 Write the word “Halloween” on the board so students can refer to it for their PowerPoint title
 * 1) remind students they need to create at least **three** different Halloween picture slides
 * 2) have students move to a computer
 * 3) ask them to open PowerPoint AND Google images (do not have them search yet)
 * 4) tell them to give you a thumbs up (or another cue you use) when they have BOTH programs open
 * 5) when **all** the students have both programs open, they may start their project
 * 6) monitor/assist students as they work
 * 7) when students are finished, have them share their PowerPoint with 1-2 friends
