Fall Activities

We have been doing some really cool fall activities. Take a look!


My class loves to collect and sort leaves.
We did a leaf experiment by measuring leaves in different ways.




5 Little Pumpkins Sitting on a Gate

Life Cycle of a Pumpkin


There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves

Our Science Center:
-Pumpkin Seeds
-Growing a mini pumpkin
-Planting a pumpkin inside a pumpkin
-Our pet fish Swimmy

I found this idea on pinterest!
Planting a pumpkin inside a pumpkin! So Clever :)

We went on a field trip to pick pumpkins and then wrote about our favorite parts!

Hope you and your class have been enjoying fall.

Life Cycles

I was having some trouble coming up with a science topic for the end of the year,
so I thought about things my kids enjoyed learning about and came up with one of my new favorite units: Life Cycles!
It teaches kids about mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds, and Insects. 
Then there is a life cycle to go along with each.
The kids really loved it, especially since we watched so many life cycles in our classroom this year!
(Butterflies and Frogs!)
You can check out this unit on Teachers Pay Teachers. 






We also did alligators, clown fish, chickens, and more!

This is another cool unit I came up with recently. I was inspired by my kids love of word searches and graphing.. so I combined the two and this is what I came up with!
Check out the sample I made: Freebie!
If your kiddos love it as much as mine, purchase the whole unit: Sight Word Find & Graph Unit
It makes a great literacy or math center!
