Some call it autumn, some call it fall.

It is fall in New York. You right, dear friends, fall started  sometime ago but Pre-K friends patiently waited to see fall in full service. Friends discussed how do they know that fall is here. Here is what they said when morah asked them "Is it fall yet?"
Yes, said Tammy, because pumpkins are growing.
Yes, said Bina, because people started to wear warm jackets.
Yes, said Michelle, because the sun is not so hot anymore.
Yes, said Ben, because we can collect pine cones and acorns.
Yes, said Eliana, because leaves change colors.
Yes, said Reuven, because the weather started getting colder.
Yes, said Joshua, because the leaves are falling down.
Yes, said David, because animals are looking for food.
Yes, said Avigail, because leaves can turn pink.
Yes, said Boris, because the sky is white and grey.
Yes, said Rebecca, because people rake the leaves.

Last Wednesday, Pre-K classes took a trip to the Prospect Park to observe fall sings. We took a ride on a yellow school bus.

The Prospect Park met us with different colors- red, yellow, brown, green and gold, different sounds- sound of dry leaves "sh, sh, sh", sounds of birds, sound of squirrels looking for food under layers of leaves. Pre-K friends were curious to see what squirrels were looking for under the leaves.

Pine cones and acorns. Friends found them full bag.  

 

 Friends had so much fun collecting colorful leaves.

Back in school, friends learned that fall is a time when people collect fruits and vegetables.

Stop by to see a very big pumpkin in our class. What are we going to do with it? Hm...
