Fall at Albany Preschool

We have read books and sung songs with intention: About falling leaves turning colors and why they do, the weather changes in autumn, and the harvest season, along with all of the fun and other stories and activities that having a good time in preschool begs.

We have used branches, twigs and bark, pinecones (large, small and tiny), pine needles, seedpods, ferns, flowers, rose hips, and more in our play and in our process art. We have collected beautiful fallen leaves from our own north and south playgrounds, incorporated them in our play dough structures, washed them in our water table to better observe their beautiful changing colors, painted with them, tried leaf rubbings, and used them in a multimedia fall-color collage.

We look forward not only to expanding our understanding of this beautiful season, but also to finding out what emerges from our playful daily constructions and inquiries, both individual and collective!
