- Students may have family situations or live in areas that make it more difficult to participate in some of the activities listed.
Differentiation & Implementation
- Teachers can send this guide home with students before the first day of fall, asking them to complete one or more of the activities with a family member. At the end of the season, students can share their favorite thing about doing the activities.
- Teachers can collaborate with the library to find books for each student to bring home to have story time.
- As an art project, students can create journals to write and draw pictures about their experiences doing the activities with their family.
- To make connections to climate change and ecology, teachers can guide students in a discussion about what they appreciate about nature in the fall and emphasize the importance of protecting the world around us.
