It's Fall

This time of the year is so great. We love to be outside and more kids begin to come outside and play on the playgrounds. We pack up all of our stuff for the morning lesson and head outside. This morning we headed to the park in hopes to find items that show us fall is here. Older A loves doing this she ran out into the open field next to the playground naming each item she found asking " Is this ok?" . Little A headed to the pavilion to look at a dove that was drinking water and J was "climbing" a tree to get acorns. Little A decided to get out the chalk and we began to draw. Older A brought over her findings and gave each of us a leaf. So little A began tracing them with her chalk. We made a fall tree with our leaves we traced.
We had to bring a little of the wonderful things we find outside this time of the year into our classroom. The kids helped me color leaves and cut them out to make a numbered fall tree. Today we just reviewed the numbers and colors. I was very proud of J today he began pointing to the correct number as I said them. I was counting down from 10 to 1. Of course with J I have to look out of the corner of my eye and watch without a word until he is done. If I interrupt or say great job he starts fumbling and seems to become very distracted. The girls were naming the colors and counting the leaves on our classroom tree.
Cheers to great weather making it a great great Monday!
