Does it feel like Fall where you are? Still feels like Summer in Southern California...
To get in the mood, I created some Fall cutting strips.
Spiderman wasn't sure what months are in Fall. He knows that Fall comes after Summer, but not the months. And the answer of course depends on where you live. But for the U.S., there isn't much confusion. So, some fine motor control, some learning about seasons and months, and lots of fun! These clip arts are great conversation starters, or writing prompts.
Spiderman told me it would be "awesome" to jump on a pile of leaves. He thinks he would like to gather them the first time. But after gathering, jumping etc, he would be "too tired", so I would have to gather the leaves the second time :)
The one for September is free. Get it here.

The pictures inspired him to hunt down Pumpkin Soup
, and Delicious 
, followed by Leaves
(a wonderful book meant for a somewhat younger crowd. In my house, Batman reads it, and Spiderman turns the pages), and Big Pumpkin 
, with more books being gathered. Spider-man's list (for right now):
1. From Seed to Pumpkin
2. Curious George Goes to a Costume Party
3. Quite a few Dora and Diego Halloween themed books
4. Spooky Bunny Tales (Max and Ruby)
Batman's list looks more like this:
1. Calender Mystery #10 - October Ogre
2. Flat Stanley and the Haunted House
3. Ready Freddy! #11: Pumpkin Elf Mystery
We are still adding to the list...
I had made Halloween themed A to Z Cards. After cutting the clip-arts, and taking a look at the cards, the two super-heroes were happily (read no fighting, screaming and whining) engaged in creating fall themed cards of their own...
For the other two months, take a look here. These are great to associate events with months. Halloween is in October, Thanksgiving in November etc. I will add more as the seasons change.

These are awesome. I am going to include them in my next cutting tray and link back to you!

DeleteMy preschoolers will get a kick out of using your cutting strips during center time! Thanks so much for linking up at Share It Saturday! I'm featuring you this weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish the leaves changed colors and fell here too, but alas, it does not, but these cutting strips help to bring fall into the school room (they are very cute!). Thank you for linking up this week to the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop :-)
