Fall Books:  The Fall of Freddie the Leaf by Leo Buscaglia, PH.D and The First Red Maple Leaf  by Ludmila Zeman

As a class, we discussed the many changes that occur in the Fall and the various holidays.  Two of the books we read were, The Fall of Freddie the Leaf by Leo Buscaglia, PH.D and The First Red Maple Leaf  by Ludmila Zeman, which were excellent.   We did a variety of activities including writing poetry.  We wrote a poem as a class and then the students typed up their own poems on the computer and produced a Powerpoint presentation including sounds and pictures. 

Here is our class poem:          

When is Fall?
 
When is Fall?
When leaves fall and change colors,
And kids jump in the leaves,
When bears hibernate,
And birds fly south,
When squirrels collect nuts,
Then it is Fall!!!
 
Fall is here!  We love it!
