It is officially October, which to me, finally feels like the beginning of the fall. It is such a fun time of the year for the students, and I encourage you to incorporate fall into your classroom.
If your Kindergarteners are anything like mine, they have been talking about the Pumpkin Patch and Halloween since the beginning of September. Anything about fall or Halloween makes them so excited, so why not use learning activities around what they are exciting about.
Teachers Pay Teachers has some awesome FREE resources that you can use for center time during both ELA and Math.
We recently just completed a book that can be used in both ELA and Math. The students worked on recognizing words, recognizing numbers in different ways, and worked on writing, cutting, and gluing. The students thoroughly enjoyed reading the story, and counting the different Fall objects throughout the book.
The only negative thing about the book is it took a while for the students to complete. I would recommend reading the story during small group time, and letting the students work on the book during a center rotation, either during Math or ELA. We also did wait until another day to cut out the hands holding numbers. I knew that this would take them a long time to complete.
You can find a copy of Pumpkin Counting Book by The Reading Nook here.
Continue to follow the blog and look out for more Fall activities your students will love, and so will you!
