Want to boost math and science learning? Take a bug expedition and give your first grader practice observing and charting what they see.

Engage your children with this fun fall activity that integrates math and science. First, your child will excavate to find leaves. Next, they'll examine them to determine the colors. Then, your child will graph their findings.

Challenge your third-grader to sharpen her new math skills--and maybe do the planet a favor, too.
