Pressed leaves and a poem

When the autumn leaves were in full swing and truly very beautiful,

we gathered several and pressed them.

We learned how to press leaves

from Barb at Handbook of Nature Study.

After waiting several weeks, we've put them in our nature notebooks:

While I was helping the mathematical, logical kiddo get the leaves put in (pictured on the right-see the similarities in the types of leaves in the rows),

another kiddo was doing this...

It may be hard to see.

The creative one drew a tree with leaves falling

and wrote a poem:

I Like Fall

By AGH

I like fall.

Down the leaves

fall,

down,

down,

down they fall.

Wishing you homeschool blessings,
