This group really got into “Piggies in the Pumpkin Patch” - mostly because I oinked a lot and they think that’s pretty funny. Other than that, I think that the most enjoyed book for this group was “Apples and Pumpkins.” A lot of the kids had gone to an apple orchard with their families this year, so this book echoed that experience. I used puppets to “munch” the apples and flipped them around. How It WentĪgain, my showstopper was my flannelboard/puppet show.
This one was not self-stick, so I had the kids use Glue Dots to attach the pieces to the plate. (Other animals: A mouse, a crow, a turtle, a bat.)Īnother kit from Oriental Trading. I shook that tree as hard as I could (make a shaking motion)ĭown came the apples… (make a downward motion)Īnd mmm, they were good! (smile and rub stomach) I saw two apples looking at me (hold up two fingers) Way up high in the apple tree (stretch arms up high) Now you are a great big ball! (make a big circle)įingerplay: “Way Up High In the Apple Tree” Once you were a seed so small (pinch fingers together)
How’d you get so big and round? (make a circle) Pumpkin, pumpkin on the ground (touch the ground) SO- I bet if it’s your first time here you are wondering how I was able to adapt this text! All of the info is included in last month’s adapted text post, Apples Apples Everywhere.Piggies in the Pumpkin Patch by Mary Peterson and Jennifer Rofe There are tons of videos on youtube (blog post coming soon!) and this is totally doable! The way the author walks through the whole process of apple and pumpkin picking all the way up to carving and Halloween night is like a perfect social story for our kids! It has lots of vocabulary repetition and is definitely an easy reader- which is perfect for teaching October vocabulary, using as a read aloud, in small group, or to introduce more information about pumpkin patches before a community outing.īefore I was able to go on community outings, I would introduce books like this to give a virtual trip tour to my students. It is a great idea to start an adapted book library in order to get your students more involved during read alouds and more interested in picture books!Īpples and Pumpkins By: Anne Rockwell and Illustrated by: Lizzy Rockwell (affiliate link to book!) is one of my favorite simple text books.
These books are often found in classroom libraries, general education classrooms, and beyond. If you LOVED September’s adapted text- you are going to love October’s!Īdapting texts is a great way to get all of your students involved and participating with REAL literature.
