Grade: 1
*This is a lesson I taught to first grade students as part of an instructional sequence during my student teaching pre-internship.
1. Read the story How Do You Know It’s Fall? by Allan Fowler.
2. Use the fall slides of the power point to teach the characteristics of fall.
3. Model the fall sort, then split the students into small groups, and have them complete the card sort.
4. Review and question to check for understanding.
5. Have the students complete the two fall pages of their seasons book. For below-level writers, have the words pre-traced for them to trace.
6. As students finish, have them complete the jack-o'-lantern symmetry page. (Integrating Math)
