I recently took my students on a walk around our school. They were very excited to look for leaves, acorns and other changes in the environment. We spotted this red leaf on the ground. After this the children started saying "Goodbye green" and waving at the trees with half green and half yellow, brown, orange or red leaves. This was a good experience to welcome Fall.
