Week of November 15 - 19, 2021

This week, First Grade took another walk around the campus enjoying the beautiful, but chilly, weather.  We observed the colors of the leaves and how many leaves the trees had dropped since our last walk outside.  The students then collected leaves to bring inside.  They were surprised by how much bigger leaf selection they had this time as opposed to what they had 2 weeks ago.  This time, the leaves they found were more colorful and were from a wider variety of trees.

We also listened to the story "Leaf Man" by Lois Ehlert.  While looking at the illustrations on each page, the class was amazed by all of the different things Lois Ehlert created out of leaves and other things found in nature.  This got our imaginations working and wondering what could we each create out of the leaves we each collected.  Check out the students' creativity at work!
