Traditionally autumn in Rus' it is time for agricultural holidays and harvest rituals. At this time, the harvest was being harvested, which ensured a happy and well-fed winter, prosperity and well-being in the family.
Small forms of folklore, such as proverbs, preserved in speech and reflected the importance of the fruitful season in the life of a person dependent on nature. Through a proverb, in a short, concise form, people drew analogies between a good harvest and wealth ( “In autumn and the crow has a shock of bread”), noted seasonal changes in the world of animals and plants.
The importance of weather became the reason for the division of proverbs into phenological periods, that is, according to climatic features. Thus, early autumn is distinguished - a bright, joyful period, reflecting the beauty and generosity of nature, golden - a wonderful time of withering leaves and the travel of migratory birds, and pre-winter - a time of unpredictable bad weather, a sign to prepare for winter. All these phases thematically correspond to their own types of proverbs. Every autumn month also honored with special sayings.
Proverbs about autumn express the primary interests of the farmer: livestock health, folk signs to the weather, which can affect the economy, the desire for prosperity and peace.

Autumn is the time when the warmth ends and the cold sets in. From an early age, children can notice changes not only in nature, but also in the attitude of adults towards themselves. Below are various signs of autumn that will help children navigate the world around them and the seasons.
Autumn is also greeted by clothes
Over the summer, children get used to not being forced to wear a hat or jacket. Unless you have to dress warmer for a few days during cold weather. But they know that the time will come when they can run to the river in shorts again.
One day, the parents put on rubber boots, a hat and a jacket for the child. Signs of autumn can be seen even in outerwear. The child may not understand why he is being tortured so much. Not all children like to be warmly dressed, because they do not understand that it is cold outside and autumn has come.
It's time to tell your child about the signs of autumn. For children, so that they don’t get offended or sad, it’s enough to show them a lot of interesting things on the street while walking. It is clear that in September there are not many signs of autumn yet, many trees are still green, so it is best to talk about migratory birds, for example. It is advisable for an adult to remember his childhood; probably, as a child, he calmed down when he saw his friend also in a warm jacket and hat. It is important to give girls a bright umbrella.
Where did the sun go? Was he eaten by clouds?
The kids will probably notice that the sun has begun to appear less often. And when the weather is clear, it does not warm as much as in summer. What are the signs of autumn? They are precisely in the change of weather. In summer there is often sunshine, which makes it hot or warm outside. With the onset of autumn, the sky becomes cloudy and it often rains. It's rare to have clear weather all day. Strong gusts of wind blow leaves from trees. In September it is still relatively warm; there is even Indian summer in the middle of the month, when you can enjoy warm days. Children should be told that this period is not for long, summer is over, it’s just sometimes warm.
It is advisable to monitor the weather forecast. Often the lesson “Signs of Autumn” involves behavior during this period. From time to time the sun appears and then disappears. Light snow or hail is possible in October. Fogs are not uncommon this month. In November you can see snow, it looks like winter, but can melt quickly. It’s not that cold outside yet, the temperature is above zero, so the snow melts quickly if it fell at night. It will rain during the day. In autumn, it is better to carry an umbrella or put on a raincoat.
What happened to the trees?
Children's attention can be drawn to the trees when the leaves turn yellow. At the beginning of September, most of them are still green. Although birch trees may begin to turn yellow from the end of August. The active process of preparing trees for winter begins towards the end of September.
Children can be amazed by the bright colors of the leaves: red, yellow, orange. Some schoolchildren associate September with a fallen maple tree. Not by chance. Girls from lower grades, and sometimes from older ones, love to collect in the park. You can see how grapes, currants and other shrubs turn red, chestnut and birch trees turn yellow. These signs of autumn cannot be confused with anything. Is it only by coniferous trees it is impossible to understand whether the autumn season has come. After all, neither spruce, nor pine, nor cedar fly around in September or October.
At the end of October and beginning of November, the brightness of the leaves disappears. Almost all the leaves have fallen off by this time. Those that are still hanging and lying on the ground become brown and dry out. All you can hear is the rustling underfoot. The trees are starting to rest. Children need to be explained that snow in winter protects roots from freezing, so when cleaning it is better to add it to trees and bushes.
Preparing for autumn among animals
All animals and birds feel the approach of any season. Nature has provided them with everything they need to exist. Migratory birds heading to warmer climes. They know where to fly. Not all birds stay for the winter. Pigeons, sparrows, crows - these birds constantly live in Central Russia. They don't fly anywhere. But cranes, hawks, storks and other birds love warmth; when the time comes, they leave their nests with grown chicks and fly far, far to the south.
Many animals hibernate: bear, hedgehog, badger, raccoon and other mink inhabitants. Insects also disappear. Signs of autumn in nature are completely natural for animals’ habitats. The forest becomes quiet. As for foxes, hares, and squirrels, their coat color changes. Squirrels store a supply of nuts and acorns for the winter, which become plentiful in the fall. In animals, everything happens in accordance with nature. They know how to feel when and what to do.
Wolves, foxes, hares do not sleep. They can go hunting. They can even run calmly in the snow. Sometimes you can see traces of its inhabitants in the forest. Sometimes in villages, wolves can roam around in winter, so children should not go far.
And the day got shorter
The children will certainly notice that it is getting dark earlier. If in August it became dark already at 9 o’clock in the evening, then in September even earlier. It's getting late. It is easier to explain to children that in the morning and evening the day decreases by 2 minutes. If in June at 22.00 the sun was just setting, then in mid-December it was already dark at 16.00. Why is this happening? If you have an encyclopedia and a globe at hand, you need to show how the Earth rotates around the Sun throughout the year. They will probably be surprised when they learn about spring in Australia this moment. Late and early dawn are signs of autumn in inanimate nature along with constant rain and winds.
Why is autumn like this and when will winter come?
This happens so that nature is renewed. The grass cannot remain green forever, the trees do not bloom or bear fruit all their lives. People and many animals that do not hibernate are characterized not only by wakefulness, but also by rest. Plants also need to rest. But the process of preparing for hibernation happens slowly. How does the cycle happen in a year? The tree puts on leaves in the spring and bears fruits and berries in the summer. In autumn the leaves fall and the plant appears to die.
Any signs of autumn are a signal for wildlife to prepare to rest for more than three months. Why does it rain? Nature arranges everything intelligently. Precipitation is first needed to saturate the plants with moisture, then cold weather comes. Snow helps the trees and grass stay warm. If there is no snow, then the plants will very coldy may die.
And soon the New Year!
At the end of November, most often the weather is no longer the same as in September and October. The trees are completely bare, there is already snow. But this is not a reason to be sad. Ahead New Year. Green fir trees grow in the forest. They will bring joy to any child. At school and at home, the lesson “Signs of Autumn” can be replaced with the topic “Winter has come.” The holiday lifts the spirits of children and adults. After all, there is a beautiful live Christmas tree at home, which is decorated with toys, tinsel and rain. You need to be able to share interesting, educational and useful things with children. Why is this said? People start to feel sad in the fall, that’s why they get sick, and schoolchildren feel it all too. They need to be cheered up. After all, all seasons are good. After a dull autumn comes a snow-white winter. Snowflakes are another non-living thing; they have a very complex but beautiful pattern.
The topic “Signs of Autumn” for children should be revealed not only in words and definitions, but also through living examples. It's easier to remember what's interesting. It is better to learn to distinguish the signs of autumn in living and inanimate nature in order to understand how everything happens and what is interconnected with what.

Leaves are falling, covering the roads,
It's nice to walk on them
All our worries fade away
We really want to have fun.
Leaves are flying and circling above us,
What a beauty this is
Can't put it into words
The autumn dream has arrived.
Birds fly to warmer climes,
I look at them, frozen,
How they wag their tails
Take me with you.
The birdhouses are empty,
I see birds flying past,
We didn’t even finish the songs,
With a feeling that snowstorms will begin soon.
Autumn has come,
The rains have started
We'll ask her
Don't go yet.
