The Fall seasonal pages will provide you with great resources for a number of fall related topics. Ideas within these pages include resources for general activities like poetry, leaves, and apples. You can also find more specific resources for the following: back-to-school, Red Ribbon Week, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and more.
We are always looking for new ideas! Your creativity can help other teachers.

Classroom Window DecorGrades Any
This is a great decoration for classroom windows. You will need: contact paper and tissue paper. Cut the contact paper into squares, peel it apart, and give one to each child.
For Halloween they will just use different shades of orange and stick them on the contact paper and form a round, circular pumpkin shape. The pieces of tissue paper can overlap. They could put a green piece near the top to represent the stem. Once they have completed their pumpkin, you simply put a second piece of contact paper over what they have just done. Then the children can cut with scissors around their design to make the pumpkin. The teacher can then hang them on the windows, and when the light shines through, they look very pretty. This activity can also be done for a variety of other things such as, apples, fish, Christmas trees, etc. This is an easy way to decorate and is not costly. Submitted by: Cindy maerlyn@email-removed
Fall Leaves Graphing CenterGrades Primary
A great math activity for fall. I did a great bar graphing center this month. We went on a walk around school grounds to point out signs of fall. We collected fallen leaves of different colors. The leaves were placed in a basket in the math center. Children were told to pick ten leaves out of the basket then graph the color of the leaf on a preprinted graph worksheet. (red, yellow, brown, green, mixed) They were able to make conclusions (the most, the least, etc.) and had a lot of fun doing it!

Sponge PaintingGrades K-3
Get out those sponges! We sponge painted fall trees and wrote a poem about the wind and the leaves. I mounted the trees and poems on colored paper using only fall colors (greens, browns, oranges, yellows, reds) and hung them up. Then I had about 40 colored paper leaves and hung them all over the bulletin board too. I made a large banner on the computer and titles it "Fun in the Fall". Submitted by: Flashete@email-removed

Fall WreathGrades K-4
Help your students construct a great fall decoration. One thing I like to do with my students is make a fall wreath. I cut paper leaves from the Ellison press (6 - 10 per student). Then the students sponge paint them different colors (red, orange, green, brown, yellow). They experiment mixing colors. Then we glue them to a paper plate that has the hole cut out. They make really pretty decorations, although my kids liked using them as hats! Submitted by: Carrie Caela22@email-removed
