Those Falling Leaves
On a fall day, carry a basket outside and invite the children to collect leaves and
put them in your basket.
When you return to your classroom, tape a large piece of clear contact paper,
sticky side up, onto a table. Let the children stick the leaves onto the contact
paper. Cover with another piece of clear contact paper.
Cut the leaf collection in half. Put one sheet on a shelf for the children to
explore.
Hang the other in front of a window for the sun to shine through!
Exploring Sounds
Collect clean, empty quart size tempera containers.
Put different objects in each one to make interesting sounds.
For example, put jingle bells in one, small rocks in another, and sand in another.
Use hot glue or rubber cement to put the lids back on tightly.
Let the children shake the containers and hear the different sounds.
Put the “shakers” on a low shelf for the children to explore.
