Our children have been so interested in exploring the changes occurring outside. We have been encouraging their observations of fall and asking them to share what they see happening in the world around us. On Monday afternoon we used a large easel with sticky contact paper attached and invited the children to help us create a 'signs of fall' nature collage. Children hunted in the playground and found objects they thought represented the changing signs of fall.
The collage turned into a great problem solving experience as children explored why some objects stuck to the paper (e.g., leaves) and others did not (e.g., rocks). They realized that the size and shape of the objects needed to work together in order to make everything fit together. What a great opportunity for math and science!
