We have been learning all about fall and the changes that take place during this fun season. We have learned that some trees lose their leaves (deciduous) and other's leaves stay green all year (evergreen). We also learned that there are several different kinds of leaves with different shapes and sizes. We learned why some trees lose their leaves and why leaves change color in the fall.
Since we were finishing up our study of leaves, I decided to take the children out on a leaf hunt!
We walked around our block and found lots of different leaves that have already started to fall! The children would get so excited every time we'd find a big bunch of fallen leaves...especially when we found some cool colors!
After we collected our leaves, we came back to class and learned how scientists would study our leaves. We talked about how scientists love to look really closely at things and use their senses to find out about things. The children described what their leaves felt like, smelled like, looked like, and what sounds they could make with them. Then we learned how you can make really neat pictures by rubbing leaves.
