I love the fall season! The new school year has started, the weather is cooling down, and the season is changing. Do you have fall themed activities for your kindergarteners? Do you need fun, effective and purposeful academic activities for your new students for this time of year?
Seasonal changes and falling leaves may or may not occur where you live. Where I live (Nevada) there are some deciduous trees, but not many. However, having activities that included seasonal changes are a way to introduce your little learners to other areas and climate around the world. Since the fall season is when school begins in our state, these fall activities are beginning school year kindergarten activities.
