Autumn Week

For week four of Preschool we studied Autumn.

We are creating a lapbook for Autumn that we will add to through the whole season, so I will post that when we are finished.

I found some silk fall leaves to use as visuals(being as fall leaves are not in abundance in Florida). He was a tree that swayed gently, sometimes fiercely, in the wind. As he swayed he would scatter the leaves. Jonathan enjoyed watching this performance so Benjamin repeated it several times a day.

The library class happened to have an Autumn theme as well. Benjamin made this tree that spins to show green summer leaves that change to fall colors.



He decorated this tree.


And painted this one.
