Scarecrow for Hire!


We had a lot of fun this week reading stories about Scarecrows, writing letters to the farmer, and creating our Scarecrows and crows.  The students had to come up with a plan to help the farmer get rid of his pesky crows that keep eating his crops.  Some students took it one step further and wrote back to the Scarecrows form the farmers point of view telling them why he hired them.

  

We built schema and brainstormed our ideas on this tree map.

  4. Thanks for visiting… I'm sorry but I found the scarecrows on another site (and I am embarrassed to say - that I can't remember where…)

  5. So adorable! I was wondering how to legitimately (academically) incorporate these into my lessons this week. The letter writing is a perfect tie-in to our upcoming writing focus! Thanks for the great idea.
