Fall Walk

To celebrate Fall's arrival last week we've carved out some time to observe, reflect and question the changes in nature that this new season brings. 

In particular, we've been intrigued by the colours of fall and the changing leaves. 

We read the beautiful book, Fall Walk, by Virginia Brimhall Snow which tells a lyrical tale of a child and grandmother on a leisurely stroll in autumn. 

We headed out for a fall walk of our own with ours eyes open for fallen leaves in lovely shades of red, yellow and green. We returned to class with our collections to share with each other. Some were soft while other were rough. Some were big and some were small. Some had smooth edges, other had rough, jagged edges. 

The children came up with some great inquiry questions about leaves and fall which we recorded on a chart and will revisit through our fall investigations, readings and experiments.
