Ask the children to use this worksheet to to record what they SEE, HEAR, SMELL and FEEL as they walk outside on a nice Autumn day.

Recommended sequence

1. Review the 5 senses.

2. Take a moment to tune in, breathe, and just be.

3. Give instructions for how to quietly be in the outside world, using keen observation and a relaxed mind to fill in this chart.

4. Give plenty of time for students to draw or write their findings.

5. Come together as a group and find out what people observed and any impact it had on them.

Tips for your mindfulness nature walk

1. Walk at a natural, slow pace. Take your time to take in the beauty of nature around you. Look around you. Notice the trees around you. Are they starting to change colors? Are they losing their leaves?
2. Take in deep breaths through your nose. Shift your awareness to your smell. What do you smell? Does it smell earthy? Do you smell the leaves around you?
3. Listen. What do you hear? Are there animals bustling around? Do you hear the leaves crunching underneath your feet?
4. Pick up a few leaves. How do they feel? Are they starting to decompose? Are they crunchy? What color are they?
5. Shift your attention back to walking. Feel the physical sensation of walking. One foot up, one foot down. Notice your feet touching the ground. How do you feel?
6. At the end of your walk, pause and take a moment. Stand still and take in a deep breath. Take a look around and notice your feelings.

Where is the black cat? This pumpkin themed sight word game is great for students who are practicing sight word recognition and beginning reading skills. This game can be used in a pocket chart or on a table top for an early education classroom.

Ways to Use:

How to Play:

Where's the Black Cat is a game for centers or whole group instruction where a cat is hidden behind a pumpkin. A poem is chanted where the student(s) must say the sight word they think the cat is behind. Once guessed, the sight word is removed. If the cat is behind the pumpkin, then the cat must be hidden again to play further. If the cat is not behind the pumpkin, then the poem is chanted again with a new sight word.

• 2 thinking maps

This resource is differentiated to help students on various levels be successful in writing a non-fiction passage. The chart or thinking map used will depend on the level of the students in the class.

The thinking maps can be used with students who need less guidance and can think of, write, or draw their own descriptors for acorns. Students will write adjectives or draw pictures to fill in these thinking maps.

The writing pages are differentiated for students who need no help with starting sentences and for students who need the writing prompt to being their sentences.

When to Use:

Here is our Late Fall Reading Log and Certificate Set!

Our Reading Logs & Certificates are easy to print and ready to use.

Once you and your young reader have decided on the amount of reading to be done, use the reading log to record the names of books, or the number of pages the child has read.

When your reader has accomplished the goal, fill out the reading certificate and put it in a notebook, on the refrigerator or even in a frame to acknowledge the accomplishment.

There are lots of different reading materials for children to choose from. Books are at the top of the list, but other reading materials may encourage reading and add an element of fun. Just for a guideline, some teachers and parents think that reading 200 pages = 1 book. You can adjust your reader's goals according to the level of difficulty of the material he or she is reading.

Keywords: Fall | Autumn | November | December | fall activities | full moon | scarecrow
