It's Fall!

This week we have been learning about fall. We have been reading books, gathering leaves, looking at different kinds of seeds. We gathered leaves from our front yard to glue onto a paper plate to make a wreath. I had them color on the plate first, for a background. When I gave Kamryn hers, she did lots of coloring-on the table in the hole in the middle of the plate. (See pic.) Logan did a great job with his, he wanted to give up after gluing two leaves, but with some encouragement did finish the project.
I learned a lesson too-the kids have much more fun if I set up the activity and them let them do it on their own. So what if there is too much glue, it will dry. So what if he covers one leaf with another, that is how he wants it. So what if she wants to color on the table, it will wash. Once I sat back and let them do their own thing, we all had more fun.
