The ClassBrain Monthly Grab Bag holds a smattering of articles on everything from holidays to current events. Stop by our highlighted feature of the month, Halloween! We’ve carved up some of the fattest pumpkins we could find and posted pictures of them all lit up, so you could get some ideas of your own. Visit Creepy Corner for some spooky ghost stories or read about the history of Halloween. We have coloring pages, games and puzzles, and safety tip sheets for parents and kids!
