Why do this activity?

(Observations-Data
Co/lection & Analysis)

My teacher Is working of "Fall & Fall Harvest" I thought that this book, Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf, would be a
good book to read to the children. I plan to make Sensory bags with a red leaf, a yellow leaf, and maple
seeds. I got the Idea from Pinterest. http://h^j?pyhQQllg_gtisj(;q/hgjr-gej-sun-cqtchM5/ I also plan to
sing/show the video for Grey Squirrel Grey Squirrel.
