Happy Fall Y’all! ;)

October 10, 2008 by Ami Leave a Comment

This week we did a unit study with the book, When the Frost is on the Punkin.  We also read parts of Crinkleroot’s Nature Almanac (Arnosky), Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf (Ehlert), Leaf Man (Ehlert), and Why Do Leaves Change Color? (Maestro).  We didn’t do a lapbook; we stuffed everything in the pockets of a folder instead!   Here are some random pictures of our week.

For the inside, we found a fun idea in Crinkleroot’s Nature Almanac.  Elijah insisted that we do this!   You trace a leaf then color it in (we used oil pastels).  Cut it out and paste it in your book.
