It's Time to Let Go of Summer, But Hooray for Autumn!

Summer is almost over. 

I hate to let go of summer, but...

Hooray for Autumn!

 

Don't you love this time of year? The kids are settled into their classroom routines and are really in "learning mode!"

The weather is perfect: cool nights for sleeping and warm days for playing outside. It's perfect for football, apple picking, carving pumpkins, and jumping into those beautiful leaves!

I'll be focusing on the change of seasons in my classroom this week.

This will be our writing focus this week:

I will be reading a couple of my favorite books for the season:

(All of these are affiliate links to Amazon.)

• The Reason for Seasons (I LOVE Gail Gibbons' books!)
• Sunshine Makes the Seasons
• A Tree for All Seasons
• Why Do Leaves Change Color?
• Apples (Another Gail Gibbons!)
• The Pumpkin Book (Yes, another Gail Gibbons!)    

Aren't books a great way to bring out science and social studies concepts?

What are your favorite fall books for kids?

What will you be doing to celebrate autumn?
