School Is Spooky Fun!
How about letting the students decorate the classroom door? They can cut out pumpkins, ghosts, spooky faces, spiders, or whatever.
But here's the kicker!
Put a current sight word they're learning, or a math problem (solved), or whatever else they want to show off about school.
And title it SCHOOL IS SPOOKY FUN!

Homemade Flash Cards for Sight Words
Every week, hand out a few blank index cards to each student (or have them count out - even better!)
In the beginning, start with 5 sight words they need to learn, and as the year progresses, up the count until you reach 10.
One at a time, introduce the word, write it for them to see, then have THEM write it on their card. Have the students raise their cards for you to see to make sure they wrote it correctly (or as close to).

Have them place the cards in a plastic sandwich bag to take home and practice with.
(Note: I found it better NOT to place them on a ring. The students tended to memorize the order of the words, not the word itself. And if the cards were removed from the ring, there was some confusion.)
