Autumn Bird

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
