Farmer Fred’s Pumpkin Patch is a nice interactive game from Multiplication.com. I saw one of my students playing it this morning and thought it would be perfect to share with you on this beautiful October Friday.

I have blogged about the wonderful MightyBook.com site several times in the past. New this month on the site is an animated book entitled “It’s Halloween” that you should really check out.
