Fall Resource Round Up

A few days away, marks the Fall season.  It's time to take a look at some fun resource to keep your students engaged. 

Fall Poetry  With his fun Fall Poetry Writing Unit, you will find helpful parts of speech associated with fall terminology, templates for writing poetry, some samples to help students get started and task cards to add to your poetry station. Fall templates include the following poetry forms: ABC Poem, Acrostic, Cinquain, Concrete, Couplet, Diamante, Free Verse, Haiku and Quatrain Poetry. A student-friendly rubric is also included.

Fall Math Games  You'll find 5 math games with a fall theme.  They range from basic operations games to creating glyphs. A description for each one is found below:

1) BUILD A SCARECROW MULTIPLICATION CHALLENGE: Students will generate products and develop a glyph based on the products generated.
2) BUILD A SCARECROW ADDITION CHALLENGE : Students will generate sums and develop a glyph based on the sums generated.

Fall Writing Paper  This package includes fall letter writing paper and lined paper for emergent and established writers. Art work created includes scarecrows, leaves, pumpkins and an owl. 

Fall Word Work - Silly Sentences for Fluent Readers Silly sentences have always been a fun way to explore sentence building and recognizing parts of speech. Students in grades 3 through 6 will have the opportunity to use subject, verb and complement cards to build and simplify silly sentences using a Fall theme. Challenging verb cards are included with this unit as well as a blank sentence building template, display and label cards and a synonym chart. This is a perfect activity to use in your Word Work Stations or as an extra project for early finishers.

Create Your Own Photo Booth

Start the new school year off right or create a fun birthday memory with  photo booth props.  The props will add some fun to your first day pictures or event. Buying the accessories from party stores can be quite costly.  Fun printables can be used over and over again when you create your own.  Just add a fun frame by using a piece of foam board, fun wrapping paper and printable images.  Create the props by attaching them to a wooden dowel, straw or pencil.  Here are some images:

Here's one I created for a family 50th party.  With kids of all ages, this can be a fun way to photograph the guests.  Just add some accessories such as printable characters, candles, ties, hats, balloons and speech bubbles:

Here are images for back to school:

With speech bubbles, students can showcase their favourite subjects:

Here are my most recent photo booth prop printables:

Wonder Walls

If you're looking for a springboard for authentic discussion and research, beginning a "Wonder Wall" is the perfect place to start.  Students are filled with inquiry.  Often questions are asked and left unanswered.  Why does a an elephant have a small tail?  Why do skunks sleep during the day?  Why do birds fly?  I've often asked students to place their wondering on a wonder wall.   This is a fun way to jumpstart inquiry in your classroom.

Some benefits for generating a wonder wall:

• critical thinking
• igniting inquiry
• extending and sharing learning
• developing discourse with peers
• generating unique ways to showcase learning

If you're looking for a bulletin board wall, this Wonder Wall  set has everything you need to get started.
