Students trace the color sight words and can either make a scarecrow out of construction paper or simply color one.  

The pages of the booklet are cut out, sequenced and glued to his tummy. The master has 4-on a page for easy printing.

Because it focuses on color words, the booklet makes  a great activity for "word work" during Daily 5.

When everyone is done, read the book as a whole group reinforcing concepts of print and reviewing Common Core Standards.

Students will be able to take the booklet home and share it with their families, which will help reinforce lessons learned in school further, as well as build their self-esteem.

The scarecrows also make an adorable bulletin board.  Cover the top half of the board with sky blue construction paper and the bottom half with a cornfield-colored background. For a 3-D effect, you may want to lash a few real cornstalks on either side of your bulletin board.

Sprinkle your students work so that the scarecrows are dotted around the cornfield.  A few crows suspended from fishline flying from the ceiling adds the finishing touch.  I have a crow activity in the the November Arts and Activities book
