Tree of Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful for.

To demonstrate how blessed we are, the kids made a tree of thanks.

It was cute to see the differences between a 7-year-old and 3-year-olds idea of what they are thankful for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

OHC Autumn 2011: Fall Colors

 

 

 

 The kids and I went on a fall nature walk to observe and collect the different leaves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Big Ladybug loves to blend her colored pencils to make different colors.  So we decided to try to blend the colors to match the leaves. 

 

 

 

The kids then used the leaves to have some more art fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a great day to get outside and enjoy the sun!
