We read
several books that helped us understand how changes take place
in autumn:
Leaves!
Leaves! Leaves!
by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace
The First
Leaf of Fall
by Louise Phillips
Fall is Here!
I Love It!
by Elaine W. Good
Using a
digital camera, we took pictures of fall leaves. Then we wrote
5 W poems about our pictures. Here’s a few examples:
|
One red leaf
One dead leaf
In the fall
On the ground
On an autumn afternoon |
 |
|
 |
Many red and green leaves
Alive leaves
In the fall
On the tree.
It's time to jump in the leaves.
|
Using
Window Movie Maker and our digital camera, we made a movie
showing leaves changing and falling. Take a look at it on our
project web site
We enjoyed
learning all about fall and did several other things as well, so
check out our site to see all our work.
