Alright everyone, Autumn is just around the corner, and to celebrate the season that is creeping up on us, I wanted
to feature a fellow blogger and teacher’s unit pack that I think you will “fall”
for (cheesy pun intended)!
Featured in my first
teacher/blogger product swap post is Leah, from Learning-4-Keeps and her
wonderful comprehensive Autumn Unit available at her TPT store. This jam-packed unit includes 39 pages of fun
fall-themed ELA and Math activities for first and second graders. Inside the unit you will find supplements and
resources that you can use as morning work, center work, independent work,
sub-day work, assessments and more! I
find this unit an excellent value, because it is so full of resources for both
math and ELA, which is not the case with many unit packs.
The math sheets cover everything
from place value to measurement to odd and even numbers, all with adorable autumn themed clip art.
The ELA sheets include the topics
of contractions, homophones, sentences, alphabetical order, and more. The ELA section also includes Literacy Integration sheets for the books The Lonely Scarecrow by Tim Preston, I Know
It’s Autumn by Eileen Spinelli, and Autumn: An Alphabet Acrostic by Steven
Schnur.
I can definitely see myself using the included
reading and writing graphic organizers (such as the prediction worksheet) in my guided reading
groups, but of course they’d work in various instructional models. There are
also worksheets for the steps of the writing process, using descriptive words,
and so on, all of which are integrated with The Lonely Scarecrow. There is also an art project template for this book.
The I know It’s Autumn unit includes
a "think, pair, share," activity, a brainstorming graphic organizer, and a few
other writing sheets…perfect for writing centers and workshops!
The Autumn: An Alphabet Acrostic
literacy integration section includes a class project: "Make an Acrostic Book",
word web sheet, drafting sheet, and other writing organizers and sheets.
I know I covered a lot, but it
feels like I barely put a dent in describing all the useful worksheets you will
get.
