This first week in October we will be learning about leaves – colors, shapes, sizes, and where they come from. The children will be painting leaves at the art table. There will be leaf and tree cookie cutters at the playdough table. We will have magnifying glasses out to examine the leaves.
As you go for walks this week ask your child to find leaves of different colors, shapes and sizes.
Songs:
Leaves are falling to the ground, to the ground, to the ground.
Leaves are falling to the ground. Pretty Autumn leaves.
The leaves are falling down.
The leaves are falling down.
Red, yellow, green and brown.
The leaves are falling down.
The leaves on the trees turn orange and brown, orange and brown, orange and brown.
The leaves on the trees turn orange and brown.
In the town.
The leaves on the ground go crunch crunch crunch.
The leaves on the ground go crunch crunch crunch.
Down to the ground.
The leaves on the trees come tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down.
The leaves on the trees coming tumbling down.
Down to the ground.
