FALL into Learning!
October 2013
What are your favorite things to do in the fall?
Fall is my favorite season. I love when the air turns a little crisp and the leaves change colors! Here are some ideas to get outside, have fun and learn all at the same time:
Take a Fall Nature Walk. Observe and discuss things that are different in the fall than in other times of the year, as well as animals and their behaviors.

Observe the changing weather. Observe how it changes from day to day and how it can vary greatly in the autumn season:
