Fall, Syllables, and Picture Day!

This week we learned all about fall.  We started the week off by going outside to observe the big tree in our playground area.  We then discussed the parts of a tree and how trees are excellent indicators of the four seasons.

 
On Wednesday students worked with a partner to sort pictures based on whether they happened in the fall or not.
 
 
Later in the week we learned about why leaves change color.  Students each got their own leaf and analyzed its characteristics.
 
 
We ended the week with a special fall poem:
 
The leaves are falling down,
the leaves are falling down,
all over Mrs. Mohamed's class,
and all over town!
 
Students had fun tossing the fabric leaves up in the air as we said the poem together.
 
 
This week we also learned about syllables.  Students used special clappers to count the syllables in fall words.
 
 
They used their clappers again later in the week to sort pictures by the number of syllables they had.
 


 
Thursday was picture day at Brimhall. 
 
 
Check out all the picture day smiles!
