-I will ask them to what fall means to them and to draw anything
they want that comes to their mind.
-After they draw their picture, they are to write a sentence starting

Teaching strategies:
Environmental cues: I will set up my activity during centers at a
table. The class knows I will be doing my activity at a table so two
students will look at my activity and automatically come to me and
ask me if they can work with me.
Questions: I will ask questions throughout the activity. Before the
students draw their pictures, I will ask them, What does fall mean
to you or what does fall remind you of?
Reflection:
This activity went really great because the students love fall activities
and they enjoyed this one too. All the students participated once again. I
asked the students what fall reminded them of what and whatever they
said, they drew. All the students had such creative pictures and colored
their drawings in. The senior kindergartens were sounding out their
words while writing but the junior kindergartens needed help. I write
down their words for them in a highlighter and told them to trace over it.
Overall, the activity was awesome.
