We continue to have fun with the story "Henry and Mudge Under the Yellow Moon". The students have learned about the fall colors of red, yellow, orange, and brown. We talked about why those colors are replacing the green colors of spring. The leaves are using material from the tree to stay green. The colder temperatures signal a tree to slow down making nutrients (sap) and get ready for winter. The tree doesn't continue to give the leaves nutrients to stay green. They begin to lose the green color and their fall colors remain until the leaves turn brown.
Mrs. Germain worked with our theme. We created leave rubbings using leaves from two different Maple trees, a Birch tree, and an Oak tree. The students connected the acorn nuts I gave them to the leaves of the Oak tree. Our hallway is getting full of wonderful art and creative stories!
