Today, 1st and 2nd grades went on a leaf walk to gather a few leaves and look at their different shapes and colors. It was chilly, but at least the sun was shining! Yesterday, we made a little "Leaf Walk" book that describes different kinds of leaves and has a little pocket at the pack in which to collect some small leaves. Christopher L. found a leaf with a cocoon wrapped up inside of it. Now, we'll have to wait to see if it opens to release a butterfly or moth! Going outside and collecting bits of the natural world is a wonderful activity for naturalistic learners. During autumn, when the leaves are so beautiful and colorful, it is also a good time to reflect on the wonders of God's creation.
