Old Lady Fall Activities! {AND Giveaway}

This post contains Amazon Affiliate links.

Fall is almost upon us…although, where I live, fall is almost an illusion.  It is still in upper 80's everyday, leaves don't change too much, and we hit the beach until late october.  I know it's fall when Starbucks starts selling Pumpkin Spiced Lattes (yum!) and football season is in full swing.  I do love this time of year!  And what else comes with a new season?  The Old Lady!

First, There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves!  This book is perfect for getting into the season!  I included:

•9 vocabulary cards (includes cover & 2 blank cards)
•Sequencing placemat
•16 Sequencing cards with pictures and words
•Sentence Trees activity with 32 noun & verb cards and sorting mat (includes 16 blank cards)
•Rhyming Words with 12 word cards (includes 12 blank cards) •Open ended game board•Feed the Granny!•Student mini book•Writing prompt student sheet

 Next, is There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Bat!  If you can use Halloween activities in your school, this book is perfect!  Included are:

•8 vocabulary cards
•Sequencing placemat
•16 Sequencing cards with pictures and words
•Magic Plurals activity with student wizard cards, 16 noun cards, & 16 blank cards
•Bat Rhyming Words with 12 word cards & 12 blank cards 
•Open ended game board
•Feed the Granny!
•Student mini book
•Writing prompt student sheet
•Venn diagram

You can find both of these book companions in my TPT Store

Meet Blob (NOT Bob)… and I’m here to tell you that you need this one in your therapy sessions.Blob is a creature that can morph into anything and he does! But someone keeps calling him Bob instead of by his name, which is frustrating for him. Finally he decides to just be himself, and he also stands up for himself to be called the correct name.This one has all kinds of important lessons, and I think the name piece is super important for kids. Every child deserves to be called by their name and correctly. It’s a perfect beginning of the year book!This book would also be great for: ⚪️perspective taking⚪️Targeting /b/ or /l/ clusters⚪️Describing the different things Blob turns into⚪️Compare and contrast⚪️Discussing children’s interests and what they can be⚪️Making decisionsAmazon Affiliate link: amzn.to/3LbZDi7 ...
