The other day, on the first day of Fall, I read my kindergarteners a story about Fall to start off the day. But before beginning the book, I asked them if they knew what 'Fall' was. Almost all of my students raised their hands, and came up with following answers:
- It means... ummm... the sky is blue?
- Fall is when we wear our jackets because it's cold.
- It's when the leaves change colors.
- Halloween!
- It's when I go to the pumpkin patch.
- Apple Hill is in the Fall.
- {And then of course, my genius child had to shout out} NO MRS. GRAY, Fall is Autumn, it's the season that comes after Summer!
Besides Mr. SmartyPants, I loved their answers. It's so refreshing to see the world from a child's perspective, and I was reminded how badly I want to go to Apple Hill. Maybe I can talk Jordan into going this weekend!

I love Apple Hill. Every year my parents and I went there the day after Thanksgiving to cut down our Christmas tree. Of course we would load up on pie and other goodies while there.
ReplyDeleteIris- Seriously, I hate this weather! It makes me sad.
ReplyDeleteBrandi- I really want to cut down my own tree this year, that sounds like so much fun!
