Grade: 3
summary:The third grade at Bailey Elementary is so hard to handle that most teachers quit after meeting them. But no one dares make Mrs. Jeepers mad--she has long red hair and fingernails and lives in a haunted house with a coffin in the basement! The kids think she's a vampire.

My reaction: I absolutely loved this book. I used it during my third grade student teaching placement and the students were hooked on trying to figure out if Ms. Jeepers was really a vampire or not.

  
 
Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots Make your own Magical Brooch!

Magical Brooch like Mrs. Jeepers

Begin with oval shapes of oaktag approximately 2 inches in height.

Have students glue an oval of bright green construction paper of approximately 1 1/2 inches in height in the center of the oaktag.

Decorate the outside frame of the oaktag with crayons or markers.

Spread glue lightly on the green construction paper center and apply green glitter. Then apply a larger dot of glue on which the students can place one or two faux emeralds found in craft stores.
