Scarecrows, Haymen, and Bird Scarers... Happy November Everyone!

Good Afternoon All,

WOW! Fall is in the air for us in Central Mississippi! I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend and all of you are looking forward to a productive November. I know this season is such a time for Thanksgiving as well as everyone looking forward to the Christmas season. With that being said, I have uploaded a product loaded with writing activities you will not want to miss~ all along the central theme of scarecrows or so I have learned through my own investigation... hay man or bird scarers! I know all of the kiddos in second, third, fourth, and fifth graders are working on opinion/argumentative writing at our school so I have included something for this as well... hope you all enjoy!

Product Description:
This product is a collection of teaching and learning activities for grades second through fifth on the topic of scarecrows. What a better theme than scarecrows for fall learning! This unit includes scarecrow humor, poetry writing with scarecrows, opinion/argumentative writing, informative writing and sequencing in a "how to" piece of writing, designing and publishing a mini-book from "how-to" work to share with younger children orally, categorizing the history of scarecrows, conducting research skills with scarecrows to determine potential problems with the different designs, and reading and comprehending informational text passages in regards to the history of scarecrows! What an awesome fall learning experience for your students during this favorite time of the school year!
