      Fall

Tasting the cinnamon in the pumpkin pie from my
           Mom, as I do my dirty dishes
Hearing the children laugh and giggle as they jump
            in the crunching leaves at my house on a Saturday
            afternoon
Touching the hard and dried up leaves on Tupelo
               Trail on the fall
Seeing the gray squirrels getting ready for fall and
          getting the acorns for their food
Smelling the sweet apple pie  in my house when my Mom
              is baking in the fall
 

Hearing my mom raking the yard as the
    crumbling leaves get swept up
Seeing my uncle Joel carve the fat, big,
 orange pumpkin outside in his front yard
Smelling the cinnamon in the pumpkin
         pie baking on Halloween morning
Touching the rough, dry, red leaves when
       they fall from the tree during  recess
Tasting the salty pumpkin seeds when
      theyíre done baking in the oven

Brian
                       Fall Fall Fall

Seeing the  colorful oak leaves fall from the tree
  in your backyard
Smelling the spicy pumpkin seeds in the oven as
  they cook for a snack
Hearing the crackling leaves when  you jump
   high into the big pile
Tasting the sour candy in my house on
  Halloween as I talk to my mom about trick  or treating
Touching the 1 inch jaw breakers in my candy
   bag that I collected on Halloween
 
 
 

Briana

Seeing   the  incredibly  shaped
  colorful leaves falling   from  high
            up in the trees  and landing  in  a  pile of  leaves
Tasting  the cinnamon pumpkin  seeds
   while they  go  round and  round in my mouth
Hearing  the  birds up  in  the  trees
    as   they sing  sounding  like  heaven while  they are  getting     ready  to  migrate
Smelling  the  pumpkins  when  they
    get carved  from  the  tip  top  on  the  day before  Halloween
Touching  the  pointy  edges  of   the
   leaves when   I   find  them   on  the  ground   just lying   there  in     the  cold  and  windy weather
 
 
 

Kaci
                       In The Fall
Smelling the juicy apple pie at the
     bakery  near the stop and shop store as I
       walk by to get some groceries
Hearing the children jumping in the
    pile of crunchy and colorful leaves at the
    house near the park on Robinson Street
Seeing the jack/o/lantern light up at
   night on Halloween on URI street near
   the church
Tasting the new warm apple pie at
    Burger King in the morning on a
    beautiful and cold day
Touching the prickles on a pumpkin stem
    at the pumpkin patch as I pick one
    up   before my family goes trick or
    treating

   Fall

Tasting the  hot, round, soft pumpkin
        pie at the big Halloween party on
        a hot afternoon
Hearing the brown, small acorns
 falling from the top of the the  tree on a hot sunny day
Touching the soft, round ,orange,
 hard, pumpkins in the big pumpkin  patch with my Mom
          to get pumpkins to make jackío
          lanterns for Halloween
Seeing the next door neighbors
       crunching the red and yellow
       leaves while theyí re taking a walk
Smelling the pumpkin muffins that my
          next door neighbors are making  for Halloween
 

Madelyn
                       Fall
Tasting the steamy, hot,  brown  apple
        cider   on my  porch  in  my  backyard
        after  dinner
 Smelling the salty pumpkin seeds in the
         oven in my  kitchen for desert
 Seeing  the funny costumes in  Bennyís for
      trick  or treating on Halloween night
Hearing  the crunchy, colorful leaves when
        I rake a pile to fill a big, orange bag
        with a  scary face
Touching the colorful,rough leaves with my
             bare feet in  my backyard  when I
            rake the crunchy leaves
 

Matthew
                                                                                                                                             Touching the smooth colored hard leaves
             as I run to my friendís house to play hockey
Tasting the sweet trick-or-treat sugar cookies with
            chocolate chip in them as they crunch in my   mouth at a party on   Halloween night
Smelling the yellow raisin bread with butter on it that
   is on the table in the morning as I watch TV in my house
Seeing the dead, green grass as I play soccer on the
  recess yard in fall
Hearing the loud, white wind as I stick my head out of
 the window of my Dadís truck
 

Mike
Tasting the cooked turkey with smooth,thin gravy
  and mushy mashed potatoes with a big lump of stuffing on Thanksgiving,
Smelling the spicy scents to make the house smell
   delightful and the fresh cinnamon pears right
   out of the oven,
Seeing children running around,all dressed up on
 Halloween night and the adults giving them
     sweets like chocolate and bubble gum,
Touching the burning hot chocolate in the colorful
     rainbow mug after the long football practice
     every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday,
Hearing some of my ducks as they migrate south for
     winter and newborn chicks peeping like crazy

                                          Fall  senses
           Tasting  the  thick  cranberry  sauce,  hot  turkey  and
                    stuffing  at  Thanksgiving  as  I  sit  at  the
                     table  with  my  parents
          Seeing  the  leaves   change  colors like yellow,red
                  and brown  making  a  fairyland  at  my
                   Grandmaís  house
            Smelling  the  pumpkin pie and turkey and hot stuffing
   as the smell sneaks downstairs when I was
   watching TV
   Touching the leaves and when I squeeze the leaves      they crumble up in my hand when Iím playing in
  my backyard
 Hearing the leaves fall on the ground and wind blowing
  the trees in my backyard

Sean
 
Tasting the fruity red punch at a
             Halloween party on a scary night.
Touching the smooth stick attached to the
      rake while I rake the colored  leaves.
Smelling the hot pumpkin bread coming
          out of the oven in the kitchen.
Seeing the colored leaves fall from the
      brown trees in my backyard.
Hearing the birds chirp as fly south
          for the long winter.

    Fall Senses
Tasting the salty,buttery pumpkin seeds in the kitchen as I pick   them out of a big bowl
Watching the yellow, brown and red leaves fall from the tree in
 my front yard
Smelling the brown pumpkin bread in the kitchen rise in the
 oven
Hearing the crunch as I jump into the huge pile of colorful leaves
 in the front yard on a cold day
Touching the very sharp knives as we carve  pumpkins on
 October 27

                            Fall
Hearing feet crunching leaves in my front yard as the
 milkman delivers the milk
Seeing the squirrels gathering their acorns for the chilly
 winter coming
Smelling the sweet chocolate chip cookies as my mom
 bakes them on a cold day in fall
Tasting my momís cinnamon pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving
 day
Touching the big, fat acorns in my front yard as they fall
 from the huge oak trees
 
 

Fall, Fall, Fall

 

Tasting the sweet, juicy pumpkin pie
           on the porch at my house
Hearing the wind blowing the brown ,orange, red, yellow leaves
    falling on the ground at my house
Seeing the brown acorns on the ground
            in the back yard at my house.
Touching the the hard and rough bark of a tree while I wait for
                  my brother to come and play in my tree for
Smelling the sweet juicy apple while I eat the red and green apple inside
   my house

Walter

Tasting the brown and sugary
     pumpkin pie at Halloween night with my mom
Hearing the colorful leaves hit the
     ground on a walk to the beach in the afternoon
Seeing all different kinds of funny costumes handing at McDonaldís
     when I went to a birthday party
Smelling the cinamanny apple sauce on the day
     before Halloween
Touching the cold and chilly breezes in autumn
     at the Terps football game

   Fall
Tasting the steamy pumpkin pie
 in the living room as I turn on the TV
Seeing the red and yellow leaves falling
 down from the tress in my front yard
Touching the small doorbells as I go
 from house to house on Halloween night,
 trick or treating with my Mom
Hearing the wind blowing the beautiful tree right next
 to my swingset in my backyard
Smelling the wonderful chocolate cake
 on my friendís birthday just before Halloween night

Brittany
 
 
 

Tasting the sweet pumpkin pie as I eat the
 spicy hot pumpkin pie
Seeing the colorful leaves as they fall to
 the green huge ground
Touching the slimy pumpkin seeds as I take
 the seeds out on Halloween night
Smelling the hot pumpkin as the pumpkin pie
 cools down
Hearing the leaves crunch as my next door neighbors
 leap into a huge pile of leaves
