Luke and I have, since last Thursday, been learning all about leaves. It has been wonderfully informative (especially for me, since prior to google-ing "leaf facts for kids"
I knew absolutely zilch) and so much fun. We went on a walk up and down our street picking leaves from different trees and then creating our "Leaf Book". We've done a little pressed leaf project and then today did our leaf painting. The art projects are so fun for Luke and such a great opportunity for me to teach since he's sitting still. It's during those times that I can actually ingrain words like "chlorophyll" and "carbon dioxide" into his sweet little mind. And it amazes me that he still remembers enough when daddy gets home and asks "how was school today?", Luke can answer him with a coherent sentence about how and why leaves change colors in the fall. It is so encouraging! Anyway, tomorrow we finish up our leaf study and then it's on to Apples. =) So fun!
