The first day of fall is tomorrow, which means it’s officially time to bring ALL the fall things into your classroom! 🍂🤎
If you’re looking for an easy way to add a little seasonal fun to your week without completely changing what you’re already teaching, I’ve got you covered!
🍁 Bring fall into your centers!
Keep practicing the skills your students already need... letters, numbers, counting, subitizing, matching, and more, but make them feel brand new with a fall theme! My Leaf Centers Bundle is filled with hands-on activities you can easily add to your centers, morning tubs, or small groups this week.
📚 Pull out those fall read alouds!
This is the perfect week to add some fall books to your read-aloud time. Talk about what students notice outside, how the seasons are changing, and what they’re excited about for fall.
🍂 Talk about the changing season!
Leaves changing colors, cooler temperatures, shorter days... there are so many simple ways to work fall conversations into your day without adding another big lesson to your plans.
✂️ Make the skills you’re already teaching feel NEW!
Sometimes all it takes is adding leaves, pumpkins, or another seasonal theme to a skill you’ve practiced 100 times, and suddenly your kindergarteners are completely invested again. 😂
And don’t forget to save a little something extra for Fun Friday! 🤎 Since Johnny Appleseed Day falls on Saturday, September 26, Friday is the perfect day to celebrate a little early! 🍎🍏 Add an apple-themed craft, read aloud, center, taste test, or other fun activity to wrap up your week!
You don’t need to reinvent your lesson plans for fall... just add a little seasonal magic to what you’re already doing. 🍁
Here’s to crunchy leaves, cooler days, and lots of fall learning! 🍂🎃🤎
