homeschool lessons outside

Sometimes everyday things can be used as a lesson.   We went outside today and the girls collected leaves off of the bush.   They started with the yellow ones.  So I decided to make a lesson out of this.  I told them to collect the yellow ones off the bush they did, and put them in a cup holder.  They collected a few green and brown.  I made them sort the colors and then count how many leaves they had.  they had so much fun doing this!  We had 31 yellow, 4 browns and 3 green leaves!
