Goin' on a leaf hunt ...

We've been learning about seasons, especially fall! One of our favorite ways to illustrate God's beautiful creation, as well as show the students firsthand what happens to the trees, is to go on a leaf hunt. The first time we tried it, we went a little too early and didn't find as many beautiful leaves. But we sure did have fun!

The Child of the Day crown even got to go on our walk!

We waited another week or so, and our timing was perfect. (Note to Mrs. Connie & Mrs. LeeAnne for next year ... wait for the gorgeous maple tree across from the parking lot to change colors -- it's a sign of the perfect "hunting season.") Check out these gorgeous yellow leaves!
