Mr.

Skeleton
Display the Mr. Skeleton pattern on
the classroom bulletin board and list
Skull (Head)
names of important bones on strips of
paper. Students will enjoy researching
these bones and labeling the various
areas of the skeleton.
Make enough copies of Mr. Skeleton
for everyone in the class. Children will
love assembling their own skeletons
with brass fasteners and displaying
them at home, on Halloween.
