Activity Today, we are going to create our
very own Autumn book! We will each make our very own Autumn
picture where we will put it in a book and keep it in the
classroom!
First, we are going to examine different leaves
from several different deciduous trees located in the Autumn Leaf Scrapbook.
These trees are known as
deciduous because they lose their leaves in the fall. Then, we are going to
examine
each leaf. You will have the opportunity to draw your most
favorite leaf in your most favorite color. You will then be asked
to share what the leaf is, what color the leaf is, and if you have seen
the leaf in real life.
Go examine the different leaves and don't forget to have fun! |

Activity Steps 1. Examine the different types of leaves with your teacher. 2. Discuss what you like about the different leaves. 3. Draw the leaf that sparks your interest in your most favorite Autumn color. 4. Dictate to the teacher as to what type of leaf it is, what the color is, and if you have seen it before. 5. Give your pictures to the teacher to scan and publish on the Internet. |
