Mrs. Urbaniak's Second Grade students were very busy this fall engaged in a variety of seasonal activities. On the very first day of fall we made a class web of the signs of autumn that would be evident in our town of Palos Hills, Illinois. On Johnny Appleseed's birthday we read the book Johnny Appleseed by Stephen Kellogg and wrote 5W Apple poems.
To coincide with our plant unit, we studied trees and leaves, reading the book Why Do Leaves Change Color by Betsy Maestro and Be A Friend to Trees by Patricia Lauber. We collected leaves, graphed leaf colors and estimated and measured our leaves.
In Kid Pix we wrote and illustrated a class book entitled In The Fall about our favorite fall activities.
We enjoyed reading Fall Is Here! I Love It! and wrote our class poem.

Using
their 5 senses, the students made fall flip books.
As
Halloween approached we did Pumpkin Math-estimating the
circumference,
weight
and number of seeds in our pumpkins; then measuring and counting to
see if our estimations were correct.
