Scary Scarecrows

All month my students practiced reading this poem........

and on Scarecrow day they received their own copy of the poem to illustrate.
They circled the star reading words we have practiced so far.......a, the, to, I, and, BOO (just for fun.)

I read them the story:

and then they created scarecrows for the pumpkin market.

Notice the shapes in our scarecrows......we reviewed our shapes as we worked.  

During Math, the students worked on pattern block scarecrows......

I found this rhyme years ago and added the patten blocks to it to create a classbook.

Then the students copied my pattern block scarecrow from the smartboard, Click Here if you want the file.  It is for Notebook 10.

After the glue dried on the scarecrows......the children added a background.

Here are two student samples:

I put them in a binder to create a class book, which the children love.
