Lesson Plan Ideas:

Phonological Awareness: Segmenting Sentences about changes in fall. Segmenting syllables using fall words: fall, boots, coat, jacket, mitten, hibernate, scarf, autumn.

Alphabet Awareness: Leaf Letters (Introducing F,N, and O): Introducing the sound and the letter. We will do a leaf letter activity to place the correct picture printed on a leaf to its corresponding sound (red leafs will have sounds at the beginning and yellow leaves will have sounds at the end).

Math: Leaf and fall items Sorting (acorns, apple seeds). Making rows of seeds to solve simple addition problems. (Learning about the life cycle of an apple also)

Science: Why do leaves change colors? Chlorophyll activities with real leaves from outside. How animals change when fall starts: explaining hibernation.

Social Studies: Preparing for colder weather: clothing changes that will happen once fall arrives. What to expect with the change of seasons: cooler in the fall, cold in the winter, warmer in the spring, hot in the summer.
