Have you read Fall Is Not Easy by Marty Kelley? If you haven't find a copy and add it to your Fall Read Alouds. Here is a quick summary of the book-
 
Fall is a tough time of year for a lot of us. Kids have to go back to school, teachers and football players have to go back to work, and parents have to look for new places to hide holiday presents. But perhaps fall is hardest of all on trees. After all, they have to change their entire appearance every year! This book is the rhyming story of a tree's humorous struggles to change its colors for fall. And it's a perfect introduction to the seasons for young children.
 
This resource can be used for grades Kindergarten through 2nd. Included are discussion prompts for before, during and after reading. It also includes a page where students can design their own tree "Tear Art" style with construction paper or even just coloring.
 
There are two worksheets with the following writing prompts-
 
1. Which tree what your favorite? Why did you pick that one?
2. What kind of tree would you make to represent yourself?
