This week we have been discussing all things fall, including leaves! Today, we read a great informational book called Leaf Jumpers by Carol Gerber. This book featured many different types of leaves, explaining that they have different shapes, depending on the type of tree. It also explained why leaves change colors after provided food for the trees during the spring and summer.
We decided to expand our knowledge of leaves by exploring some actual Maple tree leaves. I have been working on getting the students to use describing words in our writing, so this was a wonderful opportunity to incorporate our language arts into our science activity for the day.
