Transitional-Kindergarten Grade Talking Points

• "Autumn is a season when the weather starts to get cooler and the leaves on the trees change color. It's a time when we can see red, orange, and yellow leaves falling from the trees."
• "We can read stories about autumn to learn more about this season. What are some things you like to do in the autumn?"
• "When we draw pictures of autumn, we can use colors like red, orange, and yellow to show the leaves changing. What colors do you see outside in the autumn?"
