Autumn is an amazing time of year in Minnesota. What are some of your favorite features of fall? Do your best to be specific and descriptive. (e.g. "Our neighbor's maple tree explodes in fiery red during autumn," is more interesting than, "I like the colorful leaves.") I look forward to reading your great ideas!

Hmm...autumn leaves are beautiful and fun. What else is special about fall?
I am always happy to put on a cozy sweatshirt when the evening temperatures grow cooler. Every breath creates a baby cloud.
I like to watch the tendrils of mist rise from the lake in the early morning as I take my dog for a walk. Brittle leaves crackle with our every step.
My petunias and impatiens have seen better days, but the sedum is vibrant pink and the tomatoes plump and heavy on the vine. My mother-in-law brings us the first tangy batch of applesauce from our friend Max's harvest.
Fall is filled with fabulous features!

I like fall because of halloween. And because you get too rack up all the leaves and when you are done you get to jump in the leaves.

Fall is beautiful, Fall is fun, even though there’s not much sun!
The leaves are orange, yellow and red, I jump on them instead of my bed! Pumpkin picking apple eating, next we go trick or treating! Trick or treats sweets and more that’s what Halloween is for! By: Cristiana SW#12
The part that I like about fall is that I start hockey and I like to jump in leaves with my friends.

in our front yard there is an
crab apple tree that is flashing
in orange and yellow bursts,and
flaming with red!
Our front yard grass is screaming
with green too!
Wow! You are doing a great job with this. I am really enjoying your observant and descriptive writing. And good work, poets!
I have received a few comments without names. Make sure you include your first name and homeroom number.
There will be quite a few more added in the next few days. Stop back and read them, if you like. Don't forget, new comments won't show up immediately. They will be sent to me and will show up on the blog after I have approved them.
Go, fourth graders!

I like the fall because it is my birthday. I like the way that the leaves turn colors. And I also enjoy going to the downtown farmer market to buy pumpkins and vegetables. The pumpkins are fun to carve. Also I like going to the apple orchard to get apple pie. Braxton sw #18
I like the color of the leaves. Especially when
they are a beautiful red like a fire-truck, and
blazing orange and yellow like a light.
I like raking huge piles of leaves piles with my
friends and then jumping in them.
I love autumn!!!!!!!! Molly J4

Dear Ms.Powell,
What I like about fall is when school starts!!! And also, I like fall when the leaves turn to beautiful colors. And......... I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!! I love to dress up and do scary things!!! Also, my sister's birthday is the day before Halloween! I like to carve out pumkins with my dad. It's really fun! Fall is one of my favorite seasons.
Here is a poem I thought you'd like:
Fall is here
another year
is coming to an end
summer's finished
summer's gone
Winter's round the bend
Fall is piles of crunchy leaves
orange,gold,and red.
Fall is sweater's with long sleeves
and blankets on the bed.
Fall is footbell,
Fall is pumkins,
Fall is where summer ends.
And
Fall is coming back to school,
And seeing all my friends.
Maria J4 #5
Fall is pretty
Fall is fun
I like to jump in the autumn sun
The sun is setting
My toes freeze
The chilling wide goes through my knees.
Siri J23
I like to watch the squirrels find nuts, berries, and seeds. They sometimes bump their heads when they try to find food in the long grass!
My poem:
I look at the trees and see leaves fall
I make a pile, four stories tall
Up I go, down I tumble
Smack into the leaves with a rumble.
Estee SW #25
One of my favorite things
about fall is picking a bright
orange pumpkin that is chubby.
