Today, take your students on a nature walk and have them gather leaves, twigs, acorns, small branches, and anything else that says “fall.” You can either give each student his or her own bag to gather items, or put everything in one bag and then put large bowls or boxes out on the table and fill them with the items.
Give each student a large sheet of construction paper in the color of the student’s choice (use Boardmaker color symbols to choose, of course). Have the students squeeze or paint glue all over the paper, then arrange the items on the paper however they wish. After the glue has dried, cover the paper with Con-tact paper.
For science today, have the students make predictions about what the inside of an acorn will look like. Use hammers or rocks to break open acorns (one per student) and examine the inside. Put acorns in your sensory table as well.
For math, have the students sort a variety of leaves by size. Higher-functioning students can put the leaves in order from biggest to smallest (or vice-versa), while lower-functioning students can sort the leaves into “big and small” piles.
