The children at Foothills Elementary School had fun learning about the season of fall by doing activities at the Fall Festival. Some of the activities were painting Indian corn, learning about sunflowers, getting the bears ready to hibernate, making leaf activities. Two of their favorite activities were playing in the leaves and finding a pumpkin in the pumpkin patch with their name on it.

Last Wednesday, October 14th, 2009, Foothills Elementary kindergartners enjoyed a Fall Festival at school. Students rotated to different stations and participated in various activities relating to fall. One rotation, in particular, called the Fall Drama/Dance allowed students to show in a creative way what they liked to do in the leaves.  Using pretend leaves, they also acted out different scenarios and discussed what scatters leaves--wind.  Pretending to be the wind, students scattered the leaves using wind sticks.  They moved them fast slow, high, and low.  Kindergartners had a tremenddous time learning about fall.
