Class 4 is always super excited to talk about Fall and the different things we see during our Fall season. During circle time we discussed what we like about Fall and what we don't like about Fall. We talked about what makes us happy during fall such as the different color leaves and finding leaves from the trees on the ground. Today, we had the opportunity to collage using different colour leaves as well as some spooky Halloween and pumpkin stickers. We learned that Halloween is during the Fall season so we should incorporate the two. Enhancing our fine motor skills using glue and peeling stickers from the sticker paper. Fall and Halloween is a very exciting time for us and we cannot wait for us to explore more about Fall!
