Leaves Are Falling Down.....Crunch !

On Thursday in gan, we divided the children into two groups. One group raked the leaves into a large pile. The boys used their gross motor skills to pull their rakes through the leaves. What a great workout!

Kim took the other group of children to trim the loofahs off the vines.

There were plenty of loofahs ready for trimming. Using gross and fine motor skills and visual perception skills, the children had to look for loofahs that were dry and ready for harvesting.

The children compared the size and texture of their loofahs. "Mine is big, rough, bumpy,long and heavy." Look for the loofahs at the spring Shuk. The children were pleased to know that the loofahs would be for sale."Maybe, we can buy them for our families."

After their jobs were completed, Heidi asked the children if they were ready for some fun? "What are we going to do?" "Jump into the leaves!"  "Yeah, we are ready!"  Enjoy the pictures as each of your children used their own technique for jumping in the leaves. "Crunch!!!"

After everyone jumped, Heidi asked the children if they could make the leaves rain.

Brown leaves are falling down, Brown leaves are falling down.  All over the girls and boys, and all over the ground.
