Today during our group time, I talked to the children about our new season: fall! I taped oak and maple leaves and evergreen twigs onto the bottom of the carpet circles that the children sit on. I had each child take a turn flipping over their circle to discover which leaf was under their circle, and they brought it up to me. After I had collected all of the leaves, they helped me sort them. We talked about the leaves vs. the evergreen twigs. To conclude our activity, we read “We’re Going on a Leaf Hunt” by Steve Metzger.
