I love FALL activities!!! Here is one we did with our first graders!
The pictures turned out sooooo sweet.
Each student had to re-write the poem of the month. It was called Fall Leaves. I have included a close up of the poem and the book I used to get the idea.
After they wrote their poem they got leaves that the poem talked about.....1 orange, 2 brown, 3 yellow, 3 green, 2 red. They placed the leaves all over the matted poem.
We studied this poem in morning meeting. We used math, sight words, rhyming, patterns and fluency!! All with one poem!!! They love it and I can hear them saying it to themselves all the time!!!

SO go get this book!!! Each poem is loaded with great ideas and even ones that you can add your own special touches to ( this idea was my own)!!!
Happy Fall from Holly ONE of the Lemonade Stand Teachers
LOVE all your ideas. Thank you for sharing. Think I'll have to do the fall poem!!

I just saw your main idea and LOVE it! Unfortunately, I cannot figure out what book you used and would love to purchase it. Help?!?!
ReplyDeleteHi! Thank you so much for this sweet blog post! Would it be okay for me to include it in a round-up blog post I am working on (10 fall poems for young readers)? (Permission to link to your site and possibly use an image to show it?) I would be so honored, and of course I would leave a link to this page to tell people where it came from! :) My blog is www.mythreereaders.com. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteCould you tell me the title of the book and the ISBN number please? When I click on it, I get a restricted message!
