Kindergarten Grade Talking Points
- "Fall is one of the four seasons. Can you name the other three seasons? They are Spring, Summer, and Winter!"
- "During Fall, the weather starts to get cooler. We might need to wear jackets or sweaters to stay warm."
- "One of the things we notice in Fall is that the leaves on the trees change color. They can turn yellow, orange, and red. Isn't that beautiful?"
- "Have you ever seen leaves falling from trees during Fall? It's like they're saying goodbye to us before winter comes."
- "Fall is also the time when we celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving. We might see pumpkins and scarecrows around during this season."
