Signs of Fall

Every morning during calendar time we check Wonderopolis for the Wonder of the Day.  With it being the first day of fall we found a past wonder, Why do leaves change color in autumn?  We watched a time lapse video and discussed what we observed.  Later in the afternoon we went on an expedition searching for signs of fall.  We discovered many of our trees at school were already changing colors.  The leaves we observed were red, yellow, orange, green, brown, and even purple.  One of the trees looked like it had already lost all of its leaves however, there were no leaves on the ground.  Some friends suggested maybe that tree is just "bald." :)  Once we finished our observations and collected many signs of fall we brought our findings back to the classroom and created projects.  One of the fall changes we discussed was the change in weather.  For now we are enjoying the nice warm weather, hoping it stays around for a few more weeks!  

Happy Fall!!!
