For my second lesson I’ve decided to connect it to my first one in order to expand on the same topic of the season fall. In the last lesson we talked about how there are noticeable changes that occur when the seasons change, such as fall where there are colder temperatures, less sunlight, and more wind. These factors also causes nature to react such as causing the leaves to change color and fall off. In the last lesson it was an interactive read-aloud where I brought in a variety of different colored and shaped leaves for them to observe while I read. For this lesson we will continue to focus on the leaves but emphasis on their color change. I will do this through an art activity where they will mix different primary colors togethers to create

Then I will bring back the topic of fall and the changing colors of leaves. I will ask them what colors do the leaves turn in the fall. They should respond with green, orange, yellow, or red. Then I will introduce the art activity and show them the printed cut outs of leaves I prepared for them to color. I will also have multiple small containers of paint on the table. These colors will include only blue, yellow, red. I will tell them that we are coloring leaves today but we only have blue, yellow, and red paint in a way that presents a problem that needs a solution. I will ask them what we should do and have them brainstorms ideas with their peers. I will elaborate on their thoughts saying “If leaves change colors, could we change the colors of these paints?” I will explain how mixing certain colors together can create new colors and have them predict what will happen if I mix colors, such as blue and yellow (green) or red and yellow (orange). I will model how I do so and then I will have them try to mix it by themselves. Or if they need assistance they can choose which colors and I can help mix them together. During this, I will ask what they think happened and why the color change may have occurred. I will ask questions like, “What changed when you mixed the colors?” or “What colors do you see now?” This will
