Happy Fall! If you're like me you are so excited for the cooler temperature and all the good feelings and vibes that Fall bring. As a family we have already been apple picking and are enjoying the unseasonably nice fall temperatures here in South Carolina. Our windows have been opened for the last 4 days and I am loving it!
While Fall at home is fun, Fall at school is even more fun. There are so many fun things to do that will help your students learn too. I loved to make applesauce with my kids. I would ask each student to donate one apple. We would make applesauce in the crockpot and the classroom would smell amazing! The picture is from our applesauce making at home this weekend but I have linked it to a simple crockpot recipe that I used in the classroom.
Fall in the classroom can also mean fun centers that incorporate fall pictures and words but also learning.
This activity below is part of my Fall ELA Centers and simply has the students doing one to one correspondence to spell words. It helps them seeing what the individual letters look like, picking letters out from a pile and placing them in the correct order to spell a word. The beginning and ending sound cards are perfect for assisting student in how to spell various words and also using their letter sound knowledge.
Letter tiles or magnetic letters are perfect for these centers. I have created paper
Letter Tile Manipulatives that you can download here for FREE. Each child can get their own set in a sandwich bag and reuse them with different centers.
If you are interested in a digital set of these Fall ELA Centers they are available in my TpT Store,
Fall ELA Boom Deck and
Fall ELA Google Slides. They include syllable sorting, identifying isolated beginning and ending sounds and identifying combined beginning and ending sounds.
I hope that everyone is enjoying the first day of Fall and continues to enjoy all fun has to offer!
