The Wonderful Season Called Fall! (+Giveaway)

     Howdy Friends! Can I just tell you I LOVE FALL! The visual concert of changing  leaves, the cooling of the nights, the smoky smell of fires warming houses, the crisp air in the morning that clears the lungs... sigh. I LOVE IT!

     With that change, comes a change in our students as well. They get a bit crazy as they start to spend more time indoors and less outdoors. But, I have a solution. Creative and hands-on type learning activities give your kiddos a change to use that energy for good! :)

     I thought I would group all my fall-themed activities here to show you what I have! There are even TWO FREEBIES included below. I put the approximate grade levels under each item. To see the item in my TpT shop, simply click on the picture. :) (I also sell these items on ToolsforSchool.com, and Teachers Notebook if you prefer those sites!)

 Grade 3-6                             Grades k-2

    

  Grade k-2                             Grades 3-6+

     

         Grades k-5+                    Grades 2-6+ (FREE)

    

  Grades k-2                          Grades 3-6

    

                                Grades 1-6 (FREE)                Grades 3-6 

     I hope there is something that catches your eye, and DON'T FORGET THE FREEBIES! WAHOO!
To see my FREE Turkey Pick-a-Story in action, check out THIS POST. I think you will really enjoy using it with your students. I couldn't believe the creative stories that they created and shared... ha ha.
