If your children loved making a winter bird I have an autumn bird for them too! Once traced and decorated they make a lovely addition to your fall classroom decor and bulletin board displays.
The little bird is carrying a leaf and has an acorn hat! Your children can:
- trace in marker or crayon
- add pattern lines to the hat
- draw a wing or a feather pattern
- add paint or chalk pastel to their tracings
Here is a math warm up to play while you wait for the paint to dry!
Rolling Leaves Math Warm Up
- students sit in a circle
- have one student roll a giant dice (6, 12 or 20 sided) across the circle to another student
- the dice is a 'leaf' in the breeze and is rolling gently
- the other student calls the number before rolling it on
- the aim is to keep it fast paced to give lots of opportunities to recongize numbers
Extensions:
- have students call the number before or after
- have students double the number
- have students add 5 or 10 to the number
