Friendly Frogs It's Autumn Time

Book: Bear Snores On by Karma Wilson
I like to have the children count down 5-4-3-2-1 to wake up bear in this book.


Book: Discovering the Seasons: Autumn By Louis Santry
I love this series of books. We talked about all of the things that happen in the Autumn that make it special and different than other seasons.


Book: Red Lead, Yellow Leaf and The Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert
The children enjoyed the illustrations in Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf--The text is a little too advanced for this group. They had fun making a "leaf man" of their own during outside time.

Share: Bring something that begins with letter B

Practical Life: I can wait in line
(Our line leader looks thrilled, doesn't he? Hahaha!)


Music & Movement: “It’s Autumn Time”, “the Leaves on the Trees”, “One By One” using real leaves to hold and make blow in the wind

Sensory: Our "open center activities" all began with a B sound. Books, Babies, Blocks and Beans

Calendar: How many days until Thanksgiving?

Math: Sorting acorns-place acorns in groups of five

Art: Five Leaf Placemats
The children collected leaves, put them in laminating envelopes and sent them through "the magic machine" to make these awesome placemats.

Fine Motor: Letter B WikkiStick template

Gross Motor: Leaf pile fun!

Language: B words (baloon, bike, bear, Baylee, boy, Brian the Bobblehead Baseball player that wears Blue, belt, backpack, brown, bed, baby, book) from sharing day items

(B for Baylee)

Science: We examined items from nature (acorn, leaves, sticks, and a rock)under a magnifying glass and read The Magnifying Glass book and Why Do Trees have Leaves?

Language Arts: Ask the children,

What is your favorite thing about Autumn time?
Why do trees have leaves?
Record answers
