With the new Fall Fun Printables pack just staring at me, we had to work on them together!! If anything, it got us MORE excited for fall to really be here! The weather has been so nice and cool during the day and even at night, so it was a great week to talk about the changes that fall brings.
We had some fun fall books in our reading pile for the week and read several of them each day. Everyday we did the following {before we started into our workboxes} ~ read a book or two from our reading pile {see the carousel below} and reviewed our vocabulary words. Most of the printables were from my Fall Fun Printables pack unless otherwise noted {there are some more great links below too!}.
A peek into our Workboxes
Extra activities after workboxes
Monday ~ fingerprint tree {draw a tree trunk and use our fingerprints for the leaves
Tuesday ~ Caramel Apple ‘Nachos’: slice apples thin and drizzle homemade caramel sauce over them {and chocolate chips!}
Wednesday ~ Apple Wreath stamping
Here are a few pictures and look into our week of fall fun….
Language
The Read! Build! Write! mats are always a hit {there’s a fall themed set too!} and Kaleb is getting so much better at finding the letters now. It can still take a bit to ‘build’ the word, but he still works at it. We usually do only 2 words a day because of the time it takes to put it together.
The ‘Find the Word’ sheet isn’t always his favorite activity in the packs, but when we pulled out the Do-A-Dot markers…he was rather happy to participate. :) If it works….
Math
We used the apple seed printout out of the Apple themed pack from 2 Teaching Mommies along with some dried black beans to work on counting with 1:1. I pulled out our number/counting cards and would show Kaleb a number and have him put that many seed inside the apple.
We worked on adding simple numbers together with our apple addition. I would put two numbers on the mat for Kaleb to add together and he would make the right number of mini apples from playdough and then put the right number as the answer.
The connect the dot acorn ~ HUGE hit! He especially liked that he could color it in when he was done. The first day I slid the paper in a sheet protector and he used a dry erase marker to connect the dots. On the second day, he used a pencil and then colored it in to finish it.
Other Fun
Kaleb loved stamping the apples to make an apple wreath {something he will proudly be hanging above his desk this week. And the do-a-dot pages…pure happiness everyday. Where the boy gets satisfaction having every dot filled is beyond me {cough cough}.
That’s just a quick glimpse at our week and whirlwind look at fall. What have you all been up to this week?

Always such fun projects. I started using the workboxes with my son..just easy things for now b/c he’s still little but next year I think he’ll be ready for some activities your son did last year. Thanks for hosting =)
These are all such super activities. :) I think Matthew would love these… now, if I were only as organized and put together as you are we might actually get to them before fall is over! :)
Such a great idea using black beans!!
Are your trays from Oriental Trading Company? I was about ready to buy some, but the reviews weren’t that great. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Y’all had a super fun week, Jolanthe! I am looking forward to using your Fall PSchool Pack over the next couple weeks here–thank you! We’ve been enjoying the Apple Pack from 2 Teaching Mommies this week too.
I love those apple nachos!
Your new school room looks wonderful, by the way. I know you are loving it :-)!!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
I love your Read! Build! Write! Mats and all of your other fun Fall Ideas. Thanks for sharing! I am linking up my Halloween Ideas Post to your link party.
Take care,

I love your new Kindergarten level activities! Just what me and my son needed! The find a word is his favorite by far and the addition sheets! Thank you for making them!
several of my other packs have them as well, I just haven’t had a chance to separate them out by skill level yet, so be sure to check them out! :)
I am definately not as fun as you! I am trying to fit some of your logistical wonders into our video curr, though and use some of your other stuff as things to do when:
*mama’s on the phone
*at a dr. appointment while waiting
* rainy days!
When do we get to see a shot of you r whole schoolroom?
posting pictures tomorrow!! :) finally had a chance to sit down and put it all together!
Thank You for the Fall Fun Printables. I love them and I am planning on using some this week.

I just discovered your blog and I love it! I am trying to download the fall fun printables pack, but it’s not working. Is it not available anymore or is it working and something is wrong with my computer?
Thank you for all of the wonderful ideas!
maryann,
Are you scrolling about halfway down this page and clicking where it says ‘download the preschool printables’. I am on my ipad and the links are working for me.
