Since we live in Southern Arizona, we don't get the beautiful fall colors like most of you all might. So, I tried to bring as much of it to my students as possible. Here is a quick glance of what kinds of things we did with my new math and literacy unit "Why Do Leaves Change Color".
This was a very kid friendly book and my studnets really enjoyed it!
I started them out thinking about what they already knew about leaves and why they might change. Then we came back to our chart after we learned a little more.
The students are finishing their tree glyphs like this one to hang around the classroom.

Well I follow your blog for great ideas the least I could do is to pay back with a box of leaves. When I lived in California my mother-in-law would send me leaves from Maine. Now that I live in Maine with my family I would love to send you a box of colored leaves from 1 first grade class to another? Would you be interested in that?
