This week with Miss Carrie, we read Leaf Man by Lois Elhert. Leaf Man used to live in my yard but he blew away! We saw a lot of pictures made with autumn leaves: animals, vegetables, fruits. We guessed what they were and made animal sounds or answered if we liked pears and apples.
Miss Carrie has A LOT of big trees at her house and the leaves are turning red, yellow, orange, and brown. She brought some (pretend) leaves in a box and sprinkled them all over. We rolled in the leaves and threw leaves. We found leaves behind, in front, and next to us. We found leaves that were big and little and compared if they looked the same or different.
DO THIS AT HOME: Go for a walk and start looking for autumn leaves. Compare sizes and colors. Do they look the same or different? Where did you find the leaves? On the sidewalk? In your yard? At the park?
And one more thing:
 |
| These two designed a house. And look what I see? |
 |
| It's a piano. With yellow piano keys and three yellow foot pedals. I play piano and organ and thought this was very impressive! |
