Time for School

Colin's backyard becomes an outdoor classroom.



Today was the perfect day for a lesson about the coming Fall season.  Teacher Patty sat Colin in his beanbag under the shady Mulberry tree.  They talked about the crinkly falling leaves, the squirrel scampering across the lawn, the birds looking for seeds in the grass.  Teacher Patty picked up leaves from the lawn and placed them on a baking tray where Colin could touch them along with a small furry stuffed squirrel.  Teacher Patty sang a song about the birds.  She also read to Colin from a picture book or two that she had  brought with her.  Colin liked his outdoor classroom.
