Fallin’ into Fall Fun :)

We’ve been celebrating fall in my neck of the woods lately!  Our temperatures have been bearable for the first time in about 5 months, now that’s something to talk about!  I actually had a student tell me they were “cold” at recess.  It’s pretty sad when 84 degrees is cold to you, ha!
I am using Anna Brantley’s Narrative Writing Unit, and I am in love, y’all!  It may say that it’s for 1st grade, but my 2nd graders are benefiting from it in a BIG way!  Today, I paired one of her writing prompts with my little leaf craft that’s in my Fall centers pack.  They definitely helped spruce up our hallway 🙂

 What I loved about this little craft is that it took very little time.  There are only 4 pieces to cut out, so within about 10-15 minutes, we were done putting them together 🙂

 I think I’ve told y’all before how I’m not the biggest fan of centers.  Well, I am jumping on the center bandwagon now because my kids are rockin’ and rollin’ during this time of the day now!  I will say that the more prepared I am with having materials made, the more successful our center time is!!!  I have officially moved our 30 minute center time to 3 different parts of the day.  I tried first thing in the morning, but let’s face it… I’m a grump in the early hours.  Then, I tried at the very end of the day, and we all know that kids can turn into monsters at that point in the day.  So, now I have them right before recess, and that has helped tremendously!  I think I’ll stick with it 😉
