Learning from Nature

                            What a beautiful fall day!

Today we went for a nature hunt, finding all sorts of beautiful and different leaves.
We started at Central park!



Then walked down town, looking at all the trees on the streets,
and flower boxes in the windows.









 
 Kale & Rhubarb


 and mini purple, orange and red peppers!



On our way back we saw lots of pretty things!

 A leaf as big as Harper's face! :)


              Each moment with children is a teachable moment! 


We learned about yellow,


  and red!
 Some trees have berries


 We learned about "empty" trees


  and "full" trees!

We also saw other nature items that were the same colors as the leaves on the trees that we saw.


 We saw tall leaves, and short leaves

 and BIG and small leaves!




 During our collage making, we felt crunchy leaves,
and soft leaves!


 and our paper was STICKY!

 They loved sticking their hands to it!





 Our nature collage turned out beautiful!


What a fantastic day!

Nature week!

                                       Today we painted with Hydrangea flowers!

 Chloe wasn't too sure of it but had fun!

 Rilynn wanted blue paint

 and Alyvia wanted yellow!

 Haper had a blast!

 Caelen liked the blue paint

 Sadie was dipping her flower in yellow paint!

 Charly Elizabeth was just getting started in this photo :)

 and Charlie Andrew was already on his second color!

 Johnny took it very serious,

 and Ryan really got into it too!


Then we hung out in the classroom, playing with a few new toys and being silly...


 



 



 

 




 





We also used our fine motor skills to rip leaves!







                                                         And then it was naptime :)


Happy Thursday Everyone!!
