These past weeks we have been working on Autumn as the leaves finally started falling from the trees in our town.
INTRODUCTORY ACTIVITY:
To introduce the topic we draw a big autumn tree on the board and ask the kids what it was.
We learned the word TREE and then we asked what was missing from the tree. (Leaves) what color are the leaves of a tree? (green) what happens in autumn? Leaves fall from the trees. What color are leaves in autumn? Using real leaves we showed them brown, yellow and red leaves. We learned that green leaves stay in some trees and that brown yellow and red leaves always fall down.
WE WENT ON A LEAF HUNT.
To see leaves in real life and analyze tree trunks and their touch after recess both classes went on a leaf hunt and tree observation expedition around the playground. While we took a look at the trees and their leaves Asun told us lots of things about autumn. We also touched the tree trunks to see how rough or smooth they were.

OUR FAVORITE LEAF AND GRAPHING LEAVES:
We chose one of the leaves from our expedition and we described it (color and size). We added it to our leaf hunt poster and then we graph how many colorful leaves we had. We had lots of fun using our rolling brushes.
Using hoops we sorted leaves by color, size and shape. Color and size sorting was easy but shape was pretty difficult but it was real fun anyways.
OUR AUTUMN LEAVES:
Using tissue paper we transformed a green leaf into an autumn leaf.
