๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿฟ๏ธ Who is stealing all of Squirrelโ€™s leaves?! ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿฟ๏ธ Who is stealing all of Squirrelโ€™s leaves?! ๐Ÿ

The Leaf Thief by Alice Hemming is one of my FAVORITE fall read-alouds! Squirrel is convinced someone is stealing his beautiful leavesโ€ฆ only to discover the real culprit is the WIND! And that ending with the missing grass gets me every time. ๐Ÿ˜‚

This book companion is packed with reading comprehension, writing, vocabulary, word work, and math activities to turn this adorable story into days of meaningful fall learning. Students can practice sequencing, beginning-middle-end, main idea and details, problem and solution, character analysis, text evidence, point of view, visualizing, and more!

And you know I canโ€™t resist a cute craft! ๐Ÿฟ๏ธ๐Ÿ Students can create their own Squirrel with leaves and pair it with the bulletin board saying โ€œWe Are UN-BE-LEAF-ABLE!โ€ How cute would that be hanging in your classroom this fall?!

If The Leaf Thief is already on your fall read-aloud list, this makes planning the activities to go with it EASY! ๐Ÿ‚โค๏ธ

Comment LEAF and Iโ€™ll send you the link!
