Fall, Leaves, and Homeschool

It seems that I am always blogging about our science and social studies, because, well... it's the most fun and exciting.

We learned about Fall.  We went on a fall leave hunt, came home and ironed the leaves we collected between wax paper.  I hope to do a couple more leave hunts through the season to compare as the leaves change color.  We'll see how that goes.


We read lots of books, and learned all about deciduous trees, conifer trees, why leaves are green, and why they change colors in Autumn/Fall.  Then we took all the things we learned, and using our window in the home school/toy/library room, we wrote down all the new things we learned about Autumn and leaves. 



Gorgeous added pictures to help us out.


In the end it looked like this.  Leaves on top, words on the window, and our books to read and look at on the bottom.  We call it our Fall/Leaf center.
