FALL FUN!

Fall is Here!

Well, it was a long, hot summer but finally fall is here. And Moore Marvels have been busy learning about all kinds of autumnal subjects!

First, we studied about the season of autumn and read books about how leave change colors. We looked for signs of fall in the trees around the school, made leaves for a "tree" on our classroom door, and even did leaf rubbing relief pictures with different sizes of fall leaves.
We also collected acorns and did several activities with them including sorting, counting, and using them in a math bingo game. Check out the pictures of some of our sorting activities.

In addition we read a cool book by Lois Ehlert called "Leaf Man". In this book she uses leaves to design pictures of animals and scences of fall. Check out some of the cool leaf pictures that were designed by our students!


In addition to learning about leaves and trees we also studied about apples. We learned about the life cycle of the apple tree, tasted apples, made apple prints, dissected apples and even voted for our favorite apples (from the taste test). The overwhelming vote was for..... Granny Smith apples! We had a few votes for Red Delicious and a handful for Honey Crisp apples, but those Marvels love their sour apples!

Stay tuned for the next installment, in which I'll review our pumpkin study and our PARTY!!
