Fall theme

Science

• The child learned about the changing colors of leaves during the fall season.
• The child learned about how animals prepare for the winter by hibernating or migrating.
• The child learned about the life cycle of pumpkins, from seed to plant to pumpkin.
• The child learned about the different types of weather that occur during the fall, such as cooler temperatures and more rain.

Continued development can be encouraged by engaging the child in hands-on activities related to fall, such as collecting and identifying different types of leaves, observing and documenting the migration patterns of birds, or planting and growing their own pumpkin plant.
