Autumn Leaves Family Program

For the October Family Program we celebrated autumn while exploring the life cycles of trees and leaves. We practiced meditating as trees, dug into the layers of earth to find decomposing leaves from various autumns past, made leaf rubbings, attempted to catch leaves as they fell from trees, raked leaves to care for the Pet Cemetery, and made a big leaf pile to jump in. 
Inside the temple we listened to the bell with our whole being and several children tried ringing the bell themselves.
