Outdoor Fun In The Leaves

Our class really enjoys our walks in the school yard. These walks always include stops at our favourite fall trees (in addition to making "leaf angels", enjoying the "crunchy" sounds as we run through the leaves, rolling in the leaves, making leaf piles and leaf forts). We have been keeping an eye on these trees for weeks, watching for colour changes, falling leaves, etc. For this walk, we were also on the lookout for squirrels and their nests. Our non-fiction books about squirrels described the nests so we knew what we were looking for. We are pretty sure we found two nests!
