fall 2006 homeschooling, leaves

The first half of October, we had a Leaf Theme. We read books about leaves, sang songs about the change of season and falling leaves, collected leaves on walks, did leaf-rubbings and leaf-collages, raked leaves, and of course jumping in big piles of leaves.

Here's a photo of one of an original "Leaf Man" that Jacob made in our yard, inspired by the book by that name by Lois Ehlert.
