Going on a Leaf Hunt

All week we have been working on bar graphs as a whole group before we break down into 1st and 2nd grade math groups.   Our bar graph today included going on a leaf hunt and then graphing the color of leaves we found.  Throughout the week I've been keeping my eyes on the trees thinking that it may be too early to find some colorful leaves, but we found a tree next to the basketball courts that had just turned a little and began to drop some beautiful leaves.  Our bar graph included the colors of green, yellow, brown, red, and orange.  The class found a nice variety of colors!  After completing our graphs, we've been discussing our observations of our findings.
