This week we will be learning about leaves – colors, sizes & where they come from. At the art table the children will be making leaf prints and leaf painting at the easel. There will be leaf and tree cookie cutters at the playdough table. We will have texture cards out to make leaf imprints. They can use the magnifying glasses to examine different types of leaves. As you go for walks this week ask your child to find leaves of different colors, shapes and sizes.
Leaf Songs:
Leaves are falling to the ground, to the ground, to the ground. The 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, crunch crunch crunch 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
