We were having some beautiful fall weather here finally, so our focus this past week was getting outside. That said, we still accomplished quite a bit.

FIAR 
We took a break from FIAR this week to focus on “fall”. Here are some of our books and activities.

  • Watched “Seasons” and “Fall” on BrainpopJr.
  • Made a “fall” page for our notebook with crayons and colored tissue paper.
  • Went on a nature walk where we looked at native trees and their characteristics. We looked for changing colors, but it is still a little early here.
  • Discussed signs of fall.
  • Painted pictures of fall trees with Grandma Moses as our inspiration.
  • Discussed tastes of fall. Made pumpkin bread.
  • Read Leaf Trouble.
  • Read Autumn Days.
  • Memorization: 
“October gave a party; 
The leaves by hundreds came – 
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples, 
And leaves of every name. 
The Sunshine spread a carpet, 
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing, 
Professor Wind the band.”
George Cooper
I have a few more fall activities that we didn’t get to. We may work on those some this week.

  • Dance class.
  • Nursing home service project with our homeschool group. Olivia did such a great job with this. She really took time to greet all the people we met. They all behaved beautifully too.
