Fall Fun in the Classroom {with a Research FREEBIE}

Do you love fall in the classroom as much as I do? I may not care for actual spiders and bats in real life, but I absolutely can’t get enough of them in the classroom! Students go crazy for all things creepy crawly in October.

So many of our October Rooted in Reading books have themes of pumpkins, spiders, bats, and owls. I wanted to create a research document that could be used by any of our RiR grade levels. So, here’s what I came up with:

fall research 1

I created a Research Resource list for each topic with online resources and videos for your students to utilize. Then I created a Research booklet that could be used with any topic you choose!

Spiders

Our first topic is spiders. I found 7 great online resources for your students to use.

This pairs perfectly for Spiders in our 2nd Grade unit. You can also find Spiders sold separately HERE.

Slide8

Pumpkins

The second topic is all about pumpkins.

You can use the pumpkin research with Picnic at Mudsock Meadow in third grade.

Slide5

Or Pumpkin Soup in first grade!

Slide7

Bats

Our third topic is BATS!

It goes great with our 2nd Grade unit Stellaluna (that we also sell separately HERE!).

Slide9

Owls

Our last fall topic is Owls!

Owl research would be so much fun to do with Hoot in Peep in 1st Grade!

  1. Hi Amy! I put my email in and didn’t get anything (tried about an hour ago and again just now) any ideas? I did my school email and tried my gmail. Nothing on either! Thanks
