The weather did feel like fall but currently we are experiencing warmer than average temps here in Wisconsin. I am LOVING the high 60’s/low 70’s weather!!
Nevertheless, it is the beginning of November so we have been doing a lot of fall writing.
The first was this adorable acorn writing activity from Wild About Firsties.
It was a quick activity that let us practice simple sentences and mechanics. They thought it was so cute. I love when they add their own little touches to make the acorns come to life.
Next we read the book The Falling Leaves. This story has a really great message about treating others nicely so we discuss that before I show them the activity.
They take a cut out of a leaf and have to turn it into something totally different. I am always completely amazed by their ideas!
I found this idea from Yearn to Learn. I changed up the sheet a little to give us more room to work.

Finally, we used all five senses to describe fall. We brainstormed a list of fall things for each of the five senses as a group. Then I had them pick their favorites from each category to do a first draft copy. The first draft gives them practice putting their idea into a complete sentence.
After they wrote their sentence down I had them copy their sentences onto a final sheet (on cuter paper) which we then turn into a class book.

And, just for good measure I thought I’d throw in a picture of my little guy in his first Halloween costume. Enjoy!
