It's officially fall! The subtle changes of seasons that come from living in this part of Texas make teaching about the changing seasons a tad difficult. Nonetheless, the children seemed to enjoy learning about the cooler weather coming, the leaves that change colors and fall to the ground and the busy animals that prepare to migrate or hibernate. I for one am so very grateful for the cooler weather and the anticipation of what is to come in the coming months (Halloween! Thanksgiving! Christmas!)
Counting leaves to increase number recognition and enhance one-to-one correspondence.
Collecting leaves for our fall art project.
Examining leaves to learn more about the trees that surround us.
Birthday boy Gideon! He was so excited to have a special snack (pretzel stick light sabers- yes, this boy is into Star Wars) and share his secret in a sack. Birthdays are the best!!
Our cooperative art project- beautiful fall banner of leaf rubbings.
Adding some watercolors to make the banner just perfect.
The leaves are falling down. Since we really don't have leaves to rake and jump into, we used our fine motor muscles to make our own leaves. Their excited giggles during this activity was contagious and the house was quickly filled with the happy sounds of childhood.
Squirrel tag.
Camden loved catching all the squirrel tails.
Kara making a magnificent fall art collage.
