Fall has begun and hopefully it will get cooler soon. We have been studying the change of seasons and how we use our senses to recognize all the changes that occur. This week we will also begin our book study of one of our favorite authors, Leo Lionni, and analyze the “changes” that occur in his writing and illustrations.
