Scarecrows, Apples & Fall!

Hello friends! We sure have been busy this past week! Do you ever feel like you don't have enough time to fit in all of the thematic studies you want to? Last week I crammed apples, scarecrows and fall all together. It was a lot and I didn't get to do everything I had wanted to do with my kinders. But, they at least got to experience a little of it.

For apples, we read "Up, Up, Up, It's Apple-Picking Time" (click on the picture for the Amazon link). This is a great story about picking apples in an orchard.

We brainstormed ideas for apples uses:

We got all of our  fun apple activities from here:

For fall we read "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves". My kinders love these old lady books!

We made these adorable scarecrows and wrote about them:

All of our "Old Lady" activities came from the packet below (including the adorable scarecrows!)

This week we are working on pumpkins! I LOVE fall!!

Ready for Fall Ya'll! {linky}

Hello friends! Here in East TN we actually had a day with cool weather. It's raining now as I have my first cup of hot chocolate of the season. Fall is my favorite time of the year! I just finished working on my new packet on the life cycle of an apple. I'm so excited about it! However, I won't be using it to teach. My student teacher is teaching full time this week and next week. So, I at least will get to see the parts of it she wants to use for all Fall unit. 

Just click on the picture to check it out!

I haven't had a linky in what seems like forever. So, now feels like a good time. Link up anything you have for fall! I'd love to see what you all have for this great time of year!
