My favorite fall activity is our Pumpkin Investigations that we do around Halloween. We do math and science investigations, like circumference of a pumpkin, seed estimating, sink and float, etc. It's so much fun for the kids! Lisa Learning Is Something to Treasure
We made "Pumpkin Pie in a Cup" last year and wrote a how-to about it. The kids loved it! You're at 245-- almost there! I'm stuck at around the same number. =)
My favorite fall activity is taking my 4th graders on a hike in the woods on our school property. There is also a creek and pond on the property and the kids love finding crayfish (that is our first fall science kit) and other wildlife!! ~Holly Fourth Grade Flipper
My favorite autumn activity happens during Thanksgiving! We make "I am thankful for..." placemats and then I laminate them so that the students can use them as real placemats during our "Family Feast" (known as a holiday party...any excuse to have snacks with the kiddos)
I love canoe haikus! Our grade level visits a nearby lake for a "watershed day" and do things like test water quality, role play, so on. When we return, students write a haiku about nature and decorate a construction paper canoe with Native American symbols. So fun to read! And I love the beautiful fall colors we observe on our trip!

I like to make leaf collages on contact paper!

Carve a pumpkin in class. Surprising how many have never done that!
ReplyDeleteWith my students, we estimate the amount of seeds in a pumpkin, and then count them. We also discuss the life cycle of a pumpkin.

I like using a big pumpkin for math studies. Good Luck with getting to 250!
