Scarecrow Magic Read Aloud Activities

Hello!  Its one of my favorite times of year....FALL!  I love everything about it, the colder weather, flannel shirts, hot cocoa, pumpkins, corn maze, and on and on!!!  I love teaching my fall units.  This year, I have added a book to my read aloud collection.  Its called, Scarecrow Magic.  Its a cute story about a scarecrow that turns into a skeleton at night and has a lot of fun.  It has a lot of rhyme in it as well.  Its perfect for primary readers.  I created a mini pack to go along with it.  I want to start focusing a little more on comprehension with my first graders.  So, I have included retell and story element components in this pack.  There is a teacher and student set of retell cards.  As well as, color and black and white teacher versions to choose from.  My students have reading journals, so they will be gluing their cards into their journal.  If you do not have a journal, you can have your students glue on a piece of construction or colored paper.  You can grab this pack HERE. Happy Teaching!!

Johnny Appleseed Craft

I'm hopping on to show you my newest creation.  Its a Johnny Appleseed writing craft.  It is super easy and simple.  After reading/discussing Johnny Appleseed, have them make their own Johnny Appleseed and write an important fact(s) about him. I had my kiddos color the pieces of the hat gray.
