Ready, Set, Scavenge!

EXPLORE WHAT AUTUMN OFFERS
As the leaves begin to fall and the air becomes cooler, it is a sure sign that summer is
slowly coming to an end. Though we will miss the pool parties and backyard barbecues, there is still lots to look forward to during fall.
Autumn is known as the season of change, and getting the kids outside allows them to understand and explore the changes going on in the world around them. Creating a fall scavenger hunt is a great way for kids to practice their reading and observation skills, all while still enjoying the outdoors. SIGNS OF FALL Creating a specific scavenger hunt for signs of autumn is a great way to enhance your child’s observation skills.

Consider the following for your signs of fall hunt:
It is certainly an exciting time for FAI Vice President Patrick Marody and his family. In July, Pat’s son Cooper got married in Nashville to his beautiful bride Kaylee. Just a couple of weeks before that, Cooper moved on from the Edmonton Oilers and signed a two-year free agent contract with the Philadelphia Flyers. Hockey has always been in the family, as Patrick played many years ago at University of Michigan- Dearborn and his youngest son, Easton, plays for Orchard Lake Schools-St Mary’s High School. It is a reunion of sorts for the 25-year-old Cooper, who was originally drafted back in 2015 by Philadelphia. Cooper spent the past four seasons with the Oilers organization, most of it in the AHL with their top affiliate the Bakersfield Condors. The forward was an AHL all-star in 2019 and led the league with 21 goals and tied for third in overall scoring with 36 points in 39 games in 2021. Last season, the Oilers called him up for one game in Seattle, and he delivered his first NHL point with an assist in that contest. Now he will get more of an opportunity to play with the big club in Philadelphia, something he did not get in Edmonton.
2. Leaves that have changed colors 3. Tree seeds or pine cones that have fallen to the ground 4. Items from a fall harvest (like pumpkins, sunflowers, or hay bales) 5. Changes among people’s apparel (such as jackets, hats, and scarves) 6. Animals hibernating or migrating FALL COLOR WHEEL The best way to explore autumn’s colors is by creating a fall color wheel hunt! Since the leaves are the surest signs of fall, kids can compare and contrast the different colors of each leaf they find, making this a fun hands-on activity. You can either download a color wheel template from the internet or make one yourself! All you need is a piece of paper that’s big enough for kids to tape the leaves onto and different areas for the colors red, yellow, orange, and brown. This will help kids see the different kinds of leaves as well as their visual changes during the season. The weather is getting colder, but it doesn’t mean you have to hibernate too! Bundle up with a cozy sweater and beanie, and encourage the family to get outside to explore all of the wonderful changes autumn has to offer.
Congratulations, Cooper, on your wedding and new opportunity with the Flyers!
