From the Editor's Desk...

I hope you are all enjoying the autumn weather!  Here in New England the season seems to be passing VERY quickly!

We have taken many opportunities to venture outdoors to study the rainbows of colored leaves.  Always eager to take advantage of learning opportunities, I found some wonderful resources to learn *why* leaves change colors:

Why Do Leaves Change Colors? - Environmental Education for Kids

Autumn Leaf Color - Why Do Leaves Change Colors and Fall? - Science Made Simple (includes a reading passage for children, word scramble, and more)

Why Do Leaves Change Color?  (video)

If you have any other resources on leaf color changes or the autumn season, be sure to send them to me! 

Sincerely,


Jennifer K. Gray
