  • Play our video Los hojas y las estaciones.
  • After watching, ask, “¿Cómo son las hojas en otoño donde viven?” Let children share any other signs of autumn where they live.
  • Read the mini book together.
  • Point out that it’s a song. Sing the song on the cover together. Then you can sing a whole verse for each page!
  • Use the Demuestra lo que sabes printable to boost comprehension and early literacy skills.

Materials: My Leaf skill sheet, leaves, crayons

  • Print out the My Leaf skill sheet. Then go outdoors and hunt for leaves! Let each child choose a leaf to study.
  • Invite kids to fill in the skill sheet with the attributes of the leaf they chose. Then they can make a leaf rubbing so they have a “copy” of it!
  • Kids can share their work to compare and contrast their leaves.
