Okay, so I am actually alive. This week was an absolute killer for little old me. These past five days were extra rough for some reason and sitting down at my computer just never seemed to happen. But, after sleeping in a bit today and brewing up an XXL pot of coffee, I am back in biz.
First things first, holy chips and guacamole peeps . . . I MADE IT TO 1,000 FOLLOWERS. (Please excuse the “shouty capitals,” but I am all kinds of excited!!!) I have a mega giveaway in the works that will roll out next weekend. I am still getting my ducks in a row, so check back in with me. However, to keep with the spirit of this celebratory moment, I figured I would offer you up a little fall freebie.
We have been hitting nouns up in class like crazy as of late and this little ditty proved to be a real crowd pleaser in my room. Just check out my babies in action . . . it was the perfect independent station last week.
Wanna try this with your kiddos next week? Click here or on the leaves below to download this packet!
Two worksheet versions are included (different titles). Thank you Scrappin’ Doodles! |
The Bubbly Blonde’s Johnny Appleseed Packets were fan-tab-u-lis! |
I call this the “Handful of Apples” art project (oil pastels). It is a mixture of different art ditties I have seen over the years on Art Projects for Kids. Students always love this art project and the parents can’t wait until I send this one home (I hold it hostage on the wall for awhile). |

I love the noun packet. We just finished naming and telling parts of sentences so nouns are right around the corner. Maybe some fall leaves will cool us off in Florida:)
