THE AUTUMN

Every autumn we revel in the beauty of the fall colors. The mixture of red, purple, orange and yellow is the result of chemical processes that take place in the tree as the seasons change from summer to winter.

Halloween takes place on October 31. It is a time when people dress up in costumes, go trick-or-treating, and carve jack-o’-lanterns from hollowed out pumpkins.

Ghosts and witches are popular costumes of the children who go from house to house saying, “Trick-or-treat!” The treat is usually candy.

To do our own masks we will have to cut paper plates in half and decorate them with tempera paints, stickers, markers... Anything you can think of!

We will decorate the classroom with spider webs made of absorbent cotton, ghosts made of plates and pumpkins with painted faces.

Autumn is the third out of the four seasons we have, is the season after summer and before winter. In this season the weather starts getting cooler, leaves start changing and some animals start searching for food to store for the winter.

The weather gets colder and more windy. In Autumn the hours of daylight and the hours of night are the same. In autumn the weather changes all the time. The weather turns cooler and often windy and rainy.
