leaves of the fall

 

Last week we did an activity for the fall season. I read a story about the weather and then we talked about the fall. We discussed the leaves that fall from trees during that season and the children talked about how it look. I gave each child a magnify and asked them to go out to search for leaves that look like the fall leaves.

The children were so motivated about this and they were showing each other’s what they found. I asked children to smell and feel the leaves and describe that, then I asked them to make a collage of the leaves  they found. I liked how the children were focus in the activity, they were engaged and they w compared their leaves.

I think this activity was good and the children enjoyed it because it was student centered and I tried to let them work independently and choose their partners. Some girls took a big sheet and they told me that they decided to make a collage together. I was glad that they were able to make such decision .
