Scarecrows

Last week was "Scarecrow Week."  We made these fun scarecrows that are hanging in the hallway.  The children had to follow several multi-step directions to complete the project.  We worked very hard!  We also read several different books about scarecrows.  One of the class' favorites was the Silly Willy Scarecrow.  In this book, the scarecrow scares things away by using beginning sounds.  The kids thought the "u" page was particularly funny.

The students want me to read it over and over and over again.  It is great for letter and sound practice.  Since the book is such a favorite we made a class book using the concept and our names.  The students had to use the beginning sound in their names.  I took pictures of them fake running.  So funny!  They are sure getting good at silly photo poses!
