Golden foliage swirled ... The charm of September
September is the very first autumn month. What to tell children about September? Among our ancestors of the Slavs, it was called “ryuen”, which means “howler”, or “frown”, which spoke of not the best typical weather this month. Another name is "spring", "spring", which is associated with the time of flowering heather. Previously, in Ancient Russia, September was the seventh in a row, as before in Ancient Rome. Until 1700, Russia celebrated the new year on September 1, and after that the month became the ninth in a row, and the new year is celebrated on December 31, as we are used to.
In September, the weather begins to slowly deteriorate, the sky frowns more and more often, clouds roll in, it rains and the wind howls outside the window. Trees begin to prepare for the cold and change their color from bright green to red, brown or yellow. A beautiful time, but short-lived, gradually the leaves wither, dry up and fall to the ground, covering it with a colored carpet. The water becomes colder in reservoirs, it becomes impossible to swim.
The latest and long-awaited mushrooms appear in the forest - honey mushrooms. In the morning you can already find drizzle on the grass. But unexpectedly, for just a few days, warm and sunny weather sets in - a farewell gift of the outgoing summer. This time is called in the common people the Indian summer.
Migratory birds begin their journey south for the winter. Forest animals also smell the coming long and cold winter: someone changes the color of their fur coat, someone equips a place for hibernation, and someone makes preparations for the winter.

Poems about September for children
Summer flies away
It suddenly became twice as bright,
Yard in the sun.
This dress is golden
At the birch on the shoulders.
In the morning we go to the yard,
Leaves fall like rain.
Everything flies - it must be
Our summer is flying by.
E. Trutneva
September
On a clear September morning
Villages thresh bread
Birds fly across the sea
And the school opened.
S. Marshak
september-frown
September-gloomy,
Don't whine, fool
Don't tear your caftan
Call Indian summer.
And under the sound of light
Embrace summer.
You look at yourself
Have a name day
Well, give the dawn
rowan beads,
Me and a new friend -
By maple leaf.
M. Sukhorukova
September
Here is a red rowan,
Here are yellow mushrooms,
And in September the basket
Full, guys!
V. Berestov
Indian summer
Through Russian forests in September
A wave of leaves rolled over.
How much sadness in autumn
And what a delight for the eyes!
Withering, but the heart is warm -
From the crimson foliage, probably.
What can you do, time has passed
Young ... And it's nice to remember.
As on a woman's short eyelid,
Change is tragic in nature
But - with feminine dignity - longing
She will not show in front of the people.
Yes, a lot of sad signs
It's like I forgot about it...
The dearer farewell greetings
Outgoing Indian summer.
V. Mospan
Here comes September
The sun is hiding, the sky is gloomy.
And September is at the gates.
The grass has fallen, the bushes have fallen.
The bird's "farewell" flies to us from a height.
Summer ended quickly ... What a pity!
Timidly the leaves on the maples tremble.
But do not grieve for the summer day:
Make an autumn bouquet out of leaves.
T. Kersten
In September
In September the breeze plays
With beautifully fallen leaves
Takes you to school for a lesson
Hair confuses us playfully.
Autumn will spin in the leaf fall,
Decorate the leaves yellow.
Golden autumn hurries to us,
And he will not ask if we are waiting for her or not.
L. Kim
Riddles about September for children
The collective farm garden is empty, cobwebs fly into the distance,
And cranes stretched to the southern edge of the earth.
School doors opened. What month has come to us?
(September.)
Spinning, spinning leaf fall,
The garden was covered in gold.
From North to South of the Earth
Cranes stretched out.
School doors opened.
What month has come to us?
(September)
Who comes after August
Red summer spends
Indian summer is calling
Sending kids to school?
(September)
Rain from the sky drip-drip-drip,
Leaves turn yellow.
As you know, kids
Time to go to school...
(September)
empty fields,
the earth gets wet,
the rain pours down,
when does it happen?
(autumn.)
