What better way to experience the changes in the season then to go outside! As part of our daily morning routine, we as a class discuss the weather. What we notice when we are walking or driving to school. Is it sunny? Cloudy? Rainy? What about the season? Today, students were eager to explore the changes that have been happening outdoors since we are in the new season of fall. What do we notice about the sunlight and the temperature of the air? We went for an hour nature walk at the local park--Riley Park. Some of the questions that we explored: Why are some leaves yellow and some still green? What do we notice about the fall? Why are leaves on the ground? What are the different shapes and sizes of leaves? During the walk, students had the opportunity to collect leaves, twigs and pinecones in their own paper bags to bring them back into the classroom to look at with a magnifying glass and on the light table.
