Explore November's Wonders

Begin by discussing the month of November and how it's a transition from fall to winter.

Introduce the book In November by Cynthia Rylant. Explain that it is a beautifully written and illustrated book that captures the essence of November. As you read aloud the story, encourage students to pay attention to the vivid descriptions and illustrations.

After reading the story, lead a class discussion:

Then, show your students images of November scenes (e.g., fall leaves, bare trees, Thanksgiving table, cozy homes).

Explain to students that they will create their own November digital book to share what they might see in nature and their homes during November. Assign the In November book template to help direct their work.
