Fall Books:  Nuts To You by Lois Elhert
Who Will Help? (Creative Teaching Press)

Our class read several fall books we really enjoyed. One was called  Nuts To You by Lois Elhert. The story is about a gray squirrel and we see the exact same squirrels everyday on the trees outside our classroom!

After our trip to the apple orchard, we read a story called Who Will Help? (Creative Teaching Press). This story is similar to the Little Red Hen but the hen asks her animal friends to help her with the jobs involved in making applesauce. Since the animals don't help, no applesauce!

Our class learned from this and were all eager volunteers to help make our class applesauce. Our delicious recipe is easy...lots of apples and one spoonful of water!

We also decorated a class pumpkin which we later visited on
display at our city greenhouse.
