In Katelyn's birthday package from her grandparents, there was a leaf book for both her and Brooklyn that Kyle's mom made.
The girls enjoyed looking at the books and I thought it might be fun and timely to do a unit on leaves. We got a few books from the library that were leaf themed and did a bunch of worksheets that incorporated leaves.
I thought it would be fun to do a craft gluing leaves onto a wreath and have the girls collect the leaves. We took a walk to the park and the girls collected leaves on the way.

| Katelyn wanted me to take her pic after she climbed up the slide the entire way (we were the only kids at the playground). |

| Brooklyn headed up the slide. |

| Always happy. |

| Picnic time! |

It was a beautiful day.
We made the wreaths the next week. They didn't turn out too great as we do live in SoCal and don't really have much variation in leaf color other than green and brown :-). But it was still a fun learning experience.
I had good intentions of doing a Thanksgiving unit after the leaf unit, but I ran out of time.
