My Fall Season Activities & Fall Craft Book

Hi everyone!  Fall season is here and I wanted to share some of my fall activities with you!  My class creates a fall book that explores these questions:

What happens to plants in the fall?
What happens to the weather in the fall?
What do animals do in the fall?
What do people do in the fall?

Students create the branches of the tree with brown handprints.  Then they use ripped construction paper for the leaves.  

Students draw a self portrait with cold weather clothes.

Students create a squirrel gathering acorns.

Students use orange construction paper to create a pumpkin patch.

Freebie: Math Apple Activities

Hi everyone!  Happy Columbus Day!  I just created some apple math activities and wanted to share.  Let me know what you think!

My kids are going to learn the number 0 tomorrow so I made a number poem flip book.  Fold the worksheet in half to make the book and cut along the dotted lines.

I also love doing dice games with my kids!  Here is an apple dice game called RACE TO THE APPLE TREE.  Students play in pairs.  They take turns rolling a die and color the same amount of apples.  First student to get to the apple tree wins.

Apple Print Counting Project and other Apple Activities!

I recently did a whole bunch of activities in my class using apples.  First we read a story called:  The Little Red House With No Doors And No Windows And A Star Inside.  I first heard about this story from my co-worker and thought it was adorable.  This story describes an apple.  I also found the story on The Virtual Vine .  We then cut the apple in half horizontally and we found a star inside.  Remember that when you cut the apple you have to cut it horizontally or you won't see the star.

We then proceeded to do some apple tasting.  We tasted different colored apples (red, green, yellow) and graphed the one we liked the best.  We also tasted apple sauce and apple juice.  We then graphed which way they liked apples best (apple fruit, apple juice, or apple sauce).  Most of my students enjoyed the apple juice!  My kids disliked the apple sauce because it looked like baby food.  

We also created apple prints to go along with our apple theme and integrated math into it by adding seeds to our prints.  The star shape didn't come out on our prints so after our initial print we then stamped a star shape on top of it.  We wrote numbers in the center of each apple and cut black construction paper to make the seeds.  The number of seeds on the print matched the number on the apple.  

Here's the final product:
