FALL IS IN THE AIR -- LET'S USE IT TO TEACH NOUNS {FREEBIE ALERT}

OMGOSH, folks.  Do you feel it . . . that little chill in the air before the sun gets going every morning??  I have to toss on a light sweater or jean jacket and my grin is from ear to ear on the drive to work.  There is just something about October and early November that knocks my socks right off! 

To help celebrate the coming of fall, I updated a fun little noun freebie that has been hanging in my store for the past couple of years.  Not only was it not up to my current "design standards," but it also got rated down a few weeks ago for not having enough cards . . . #sadface.  So, in an effort to please some more folks, I reworked this puppy. 

In addition to MUCH CUTER graphics, I tossed in an EDITABLE set of cards.  Yup, if you don't like the words I chose to use with my crew, you can make your own set.  Pop on over to my TPT Shop to check it out.    It was recently featured in the TPT Newsletter . . . yippee!  It does pay to circle back around and rework those old files.  #glasshalffull  

We tried this revised ditty out with my own crew this past week and they had a ball.  They were able to successfully complete the sort independently or with limited peer support.  My partner and I were very happy teachers.  

We also used the Noun Song from Ron Brown's Intelli-Tunes to really bring the concept home.  The kids sing this little ditty all day long . . . it's a catchy one (you will be singing it too)!  Check out this song and other great standards-based grammar hits on Ron's Web Site :)  

Alright, so that's it today.  It's mid-week and heaven knows you have enough on your plate.  Thanks for taking the time to visit me today.  I'll see you soon. Merry chilly mornings and colorful leaves, y'all :)
