Foliage Tour
We took a beautiful fall walk around the school grounds this week to learn some of the names of the trees in the area. We discussed their leaf shape and color, their bark color, and general tree shape. We collected leaves of various shapes for use in an art project. It was fun to create leaf rubbings by putting a leaf under a sheet of paper and rubbing a crayon over the top.A New Country
