Last week we read the book Leaf Man, by Lois Ehlert, about the adventures of Leaf Man and all of the leaf creatures he meets along his way.  After gathering our own leaves on the playground everyone made their own leaf creations.  It appears we were just in time- most of the trees on the playground are bare now, the temperature has dropped, and it seems winter is really on the way!  We do have ECO tomorrow.   The current forecast looks like it will be dry but cold.  Please send your child with warmest clothing, especially a hat and mittens!  

Yesterday, as a continuation of our study of living and non-living things we planted corn and pea seeds.  We will watch these grow over the next several weeks and document the changes in our science notebooks, noting some of the key differences between plants and animals along the way.
