Last Friday Freebie of October!

 

This has been a fun linky/freebie/hop to be part of!  So, here we are, at the end of October (yikes! Where did the time go???).

So, this week, I'm putting up for a freebie a Scarecrow Study I just completed Tuesday night!  It's for sale at my TpT store, but for this weekend, it's FREE!  Be sure to grab it and please - leave feedback! :)

I have several students who do not celebrate Halloween.  So, I've been very careful to avoid faces on pumpkins and other things that could be construed Halloweenish.....I've done it before, no biggie.  You just go seasonal. :)  As in, we're going to be having some week-long studies of bats, spiders, pumpkins, and of course, scarecrows!  

Between teaching grammar and writing skills, it's hard for me to find time to just let my kids WRITE and respond to a prompt!  I mean, my poor seed notebooks I created this summer are just sitting there :(  I keep telling myself - seeds, as in second semester (once we have the sentence structure, etc. down).  So, my solution was to make it "Fun Fridays" in writing and do a craftivity/activity each Friday that the kids respond to in writing.  Hence, the themes.  So far, we've done fall trees, clouds (review for weather), apples, and a few others I just can't think of right now (past my bedtime as I'm writing this!).  Oh yes - Otis - how can I forget "Read for the Record" and our cute tractors???  

Anywho, I found this GREAT book about Scarecrows that is actually NONFICTION.  (We're in our nonfiction stage of study right now with our 2nd nine weeks).  How perfect is that?

 

Soooo.....with a few old (and I mean, have that brownish tinge to them) mailbox pages from days gone by, a craftivity from "All Students Can Shine", and this packet, we're gonna learn about scarecrows!

So, pick it up now, leave me some love feedback, and enjoy!  Be sure to hop on to the next blogger!

 

Friday Fall Freebies (Second Week!)

It's another week of Friday freebies! :)  I'm hopping along with several bloggy friends to bring you some much needed freebies at the end of a looong week (and I know it will just get worse until we hit the 31st!).

 

My freebie this week is something I created for my struggling readers.  I have a small group of Readiness and PrePrimers (6 of them), and one of them JUST moved to our country from Puerto Rico this summer!  I realized as we were doing our first Fall writing, he had no clue about what Fall looked like!  (Of course, after all this rain, he now does!  It changed our leaves and they have definitely "fallen").

So, my freebie to you is this book I wrote for my low readers on Fall.  It's a printable book and has repeated text.  My kiddos loved it, especially the fact that they got to take it home and practice it after we read it in class!  (We keep our books at school and text copies go in their binders...also at school).  I hope you'll enjoy it as well!
