Scarecrows

What is more fun than having a unit on Scarecrows in the Fall. Each year we stuff a scarecrow , give it a name and put it outside my classroom door. We use my husband’s pants, shirt and an old hat. We stuff it with newspapers. The kids love it. We also have several scarecrow stories, finger plays, and songs.  My kiddo love, love the Scarecrow Hoedown!

 

Workshop

I also incorporate the scarecrow idea into my workshop.  See why and how I do workshop each week. I use task cards to set up the workshop process.  I have a unit I use that makes up my scarecrow stations.  My scarecrow workshop is a fun way to learn in the fall.

Here are a few ways that I incorporate scarecrows into my workshop.
