The sudden change in weather brought down
the leaves from the trees. On this cold but dry morning we spent most of our
outdoor time playing in the leaves. The children enjoyed taking handfuls of
leaves, throwing them at each other or in the air, some of the children began
hiding in the large piles of leaves. We also went for a walk to collect leaves
so we could talk about the color changes that had taken place in many of the
leaves we had gathered.
When
the children were throwing leaves at each other, it is interesting to watch how
each child has a natural instinct to know that it's safe to throw the leaves
around and at one another. Could it be the positive response they get from each
other. Children, many times follow their instincts as this allows them to make an
instant decision based on feeling and the response they are receiving from one
another.
Until next time
