Fabulous Fall, 2011!


Did you know that this year, September 23, is the first day of autumn?

In Southern California, we do not experience autumn, or fall,
the same way some places do.



However, we do feel a change in our weather, and even
the leaves of our trees sometimes change c
olor!








Have you ever wondered why leaves change color in the fall?

  2. Dear Mrs.Ranney,

    During fall I play basketball. The sun makes green leaves; however, I learned that leaves change colors without sunlight. My favorite thing to do in fall is throw a ball and catch it. What do you do for fall?

  3. Dear Mrs.Ranney,
    In fall we go to the Park and have a nice family picnic. We see different kinds of leaves that fall from the trees. I like to collect leaves, because they have nice colors.

  4. Dear Class,

    I just learned that a blade of grass, a pine needle, a fern frond, and a maple leaf are all leaves. What I like to do in fall is play baseball and watch football.

    See you in two days,
    Josh

  6. Dear Mrs. Ranney and Class,

    In Autumn, I like to watch baseball and football. During Autumn, I enjoy playing basketball. A fact I learned is that a Compound Leaf is a leaf which has a number of leaves on it called leaflets.

  7. Dear Mrs.Ranney and class,

    I love the season of fall. When I lived in New Jersey, I loved to watch all the leaves change colors.
    Here's a fall fact about foxes: In the fall, the fox is orange or brown, In the winter the fox changes its color to white.

    See you tomorrow,
    Bella

  8. Dear Sydney,
    I LOVE to ice skate at the Westfeid mall too! Maybe we can go together when it opens. Here's some fabulous fall fact: Did you know that every plant has its own kind of leaf? Did you know that leaves help make fingerpaints?

    See you in 13 hours and 45 minutes,

  10. Dear Mrs. Ranney and her class,
    I love apples and Fall is when my most favorite apple appears in the markets. After reading about the "seven types of apples" that are listed on your link "Awesome Autumn," I was disappointed that my favorite was not listed :( The apple that I think is the most flavorful is called Honeycrisp. You can only find them for a very short time in the Fall and now is that time. Get yourself to the market and find a Honeycrisp. You won't be sorry.
    Happy Fall,
    Connie:)
