Fall Anchor Charts & a Lil Freebie!

Oh, I just love fall! It just so happens to be one of my favorite times of the year {besides summer, of course!!!} I just love snuggling up in a sweatshirt & sitting by a bonfire! Oh ya! bring on the s'mores!!! This week we made this fun lil "Fall" chart & discussed some of the things that we see or do in the fall.

And, we also made this anchor chart when my firsties were introduced to nouns this week.

 And, ya know "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves" is a MUST-READ this time of year! Like all of the "Old Lady" books, it is perfect for practicing sequencing skills. So, I made this lil reader so we could get a lil extra practice with sequencing and nouns. I also included some story sequencing cards with this file!



Just click the pic above to download your FREEBIE copy!

Hope your kiddos enjoy the "Old Lady" reader!

I have also fallen in love with this aDoRaBle lil Scaredy Cat!!!

If you haven't read this book, OH MY you NEED to! The illustrations are amazing-makes you want to just grab & squeeze this lil cat! It's about a little cat that is trying to find the perfect costume to scare his classmates-only problem is that he is a real scaredy cat himself! My firsties LOVE this story so I decided to create a few activities to go along with it. (It's a super bargin at my TpT & Teachers Notebook shops.)

AND....I will give a FREEBIE copy to the first 10 people that leave me a lil comment here!!! Don't have to do anything special, just say "Hey! Have a Spooktacular Day!" or "Happy Halloween Girl!" or whatever you feel like sayin' right now! 

Lookin' forward to our field trip to the pumpkin patch on Friday!!!

 

This is Where the Wild Things Are!

Oh WoWSie these first graders are having some monsterous fun! Not sure what it is about these silly monsters but this unit is always a student favorite! There are so many cute books to go along with this theme. Of course, "Where The Wild Things Are" is a classic and it goes along great with our Wild About Learning school theme. Check out the new bulletin board!

Our monster glyphs turned out soooo stinkin' cute. The kiddos did a great job-LUV em! I'm amazed how different each one of them is! (In addition to the glyph below, I added spots on the nose that stand for the number of pets the student has.)

After we read "Where the Wild Things Are", we brainstormed things from the story that were real (or could be real) & things that are pretend. Click on the pic below if you would like a copy of this FREEBIE!

Check out more of my Super Silly Monster Fun unit at Teachers Pay Teachers or Teachers Notebook for more literacy & math activities!

Got a quick question...Does anyone else get emails requesting copies of files that are already accessible on Google Docs????  Can't the files just be downloaded directly from there? I feel really bad not emailing everyone the requested file but there are so many requests that I can't keep up! :(  Any suggestions?
