Autumn or Fall Fun

I love Fall! Actually, I like all seasons except Winter!

Letter: Vv /v/  GB makes the /p/ and /f/ sounds instead of /v/.
Shape: triangle
Color: brown
Number:10
RRS Verse: Verly, Verly, I say to you, he that believeth on me hath everlasting life.  John 6:47

I decided to skip the concept/goal part- I know what our goals are and well, anyone that reads this probably doesn't care about that part! ;)

Books we used:

Highlights from our Fall Fun Week:

Bag of fake leaves....so many uses!  Sort

patterns, counting, we even played a few games of "find the hidden leaf" and "follow the leaf trail".

Small, medium, large with counting

abc leaves, she put them in order (with a little help), sang the abcs, I would say a letter she would find it and say the sound, she spelled her name and Luk (only 1 e)! :)

and of course she noticed the pattern! :)

counting owls

owl number correspondence/counting

acorn memory with shapes

picture match-this was really for L

Fall color painting with q-tips

hand-fingertip Fall trees

letter puzzles

cooking- we have been doing a lot of baking this week.

shape scarecrows- L's is on orange, GB's on Red

writing practice and dotting

scarecrow puzzle by numbers and counting cards.

These 2 were very popular this week.

Printables from homeschool creations

beginning letter sounds.  This is our first time with these and she did great.  I didn't have to tell her any of them.  Just that the apples were in a bushel-she couldn't find an A. :)

She loves those clips! They even make good hair accessories. :)  I had them in my teaching stuff (staples), but never used them until 2 weeks ago.

Nature Walk

all their collection

Leaf rubbings- Maybe this is better with older kids, we really weren't seeing much of the leaves after she colored over.  I held her hand on the orange one you can see. :)

Leaf sandwiches on festive plates.  That's pretty much a summary of our festive food, other than grilled cheeses shaped like acorns and using our pumpkin cups and Fall plates. Lots of leave and acorn shaped snacks too.  Cheese shaped leaves and crackers were the favorite.

Fun in the Fall leaves. 



I'm behind a week, so hopefully I'll find some time to share.  "There was an Old Lady" coming soon. :)
