Fall Teaching Resources for Apples and Pumpkins

Sweater weather will be here in the blink of an eye and that means classroom fun with apples and pumpkins! We begin with apple week in September around Johnny Appleseed Day. My student's favorite project is making a little apple facts minibook out of lunch bags.

This PowerPoint on the life cycle of an apple tree is a big hit with my class. What I love best about using slides on a big screen is that every student can see the pictures. This one has amazing photographs of apples, orchards, apple products and more. Because we don't have much time devoted to science, I teach with a few slides a day for a week of apple learning.

My class loved putting together the lunch bag book for apples so much that I made one for our pumpkin theme too!

If you think you might like to create these fun books with your class, click on the pictures to grab them!

We always have a project hanging from the ceiling or on a bulletin board for our themes. 

Introducing... Johnny and Jenny Appleseed!

Aren't they sweet?
The kiddo's choose a hair and skin color that matches their own and then write their name in the pot!
