The Farmer In October

October is often inundated with Halloween, and for schools who don't celebrate that, it's sometimes hard to find "harvest' related activities.

I've included a teacher's copy, with manipulatives that you can laminate so that your story can be interactive.

There is a "cut & glue" version for students, to reinforce fine motor skills. Have students transition to this activity after reading the teacher’s edition. It makes a nice independent reading/writing center or great Daily 5 activity.

Have students combine them with other word wall word flashcards from other packets to make sentences.

After everyone completes their booklet, gather children in a circle and act out the story.

The Farmer in October can be sung to the tune of The Farmer in the Dell.

The "characters" in the story are fruits and vegetables that he harvests. Students can play these parts.

I've also included, a graphing extension, as well as a tally sheet to incorporate math with reading!
