September 29th - October 3rd, 2025: Scarecrows and Crows

Hello Firefly Families!

We had so much fun this week! We read the books The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid Of Anything, The Scarecrow, The Scarecrow's Hat and Popcorn.  We cut out and built our own scarecrows and corn in the husk, practiced lacing with fall lacing cards, and used various shapes to make crows. Our sensory bin was filled with popcorn kernels and black beans (crows) and we had to use tongs to pick out the "crows" from the corn. We sequenced The Little Old Lady story together on the board, and practiced drawing scarecrows in our journals. Our HWT letter of the week was U. 

5 Black Crows (to the tune of 5 Green & Speckled Frogs)

5 crows all shiny black 

sat on a scarecrows back, 

eating the most delicious corn--

YUM! YUM! 

Scarecrow winked and shouted "BOO!" 

scared that crow and away he flew! 

Now there are 4 black shiny crows...

"CAW! CAW!" (repeat going down to zero)

Scarecrow

I am a scarecrow 

stuffed with hay, 

standing watch in my field all day. 

When I see a crow

I like to shout.....

"Hey Mr. Crow you better get out!
