It's almost autumn, and for our first grade one science unit, we have been studying the seasonal changes that come with fall. Today we wrote in our agendas to look for autumn leaves - red, orange, yellow. We would love to see a few at school!
For this unit, some of the things are class has done are:
1. We've adopted a class tree on our playground. We had a draw for his name, and now his name is "Woody". We are going to visit him as often as we can to watch him grow and change through the seasons. Remember to treat him with great respect. Trees need our care and attention and they give us many good things in return. They make our homes, schools and communities beautiful. They also give us air to breathe. We can't wait to see how Woody changes!
2. We've talked about autumn clothes, and made collages or the things we wear in fall weather. It's sometimes really warm and sometimes slightly cold, so the important thing to remember is to be prepared for anything!
3. We've made crayon rubbings of fall leaves! Autumn sure is a beautiful season!
Try this at home:
Here's a poem we learned at school: Try it till you can read it on your own:

Fall Fun: As a family, why not work together to rake the leaves, and take turns jumping into the colorful pile? It's a fun activity to write about in your journal!
