Leafman

A few weeks ago I volunteered in Raine's classroom and offered to read a book and do an art project with the kids while I was there. I choose Leafman by Lois Ehlert and gathered up a huge basketful of different kinds of leaves for the kids to create their own rendition of a leafman. The project turned out great and the kids seemed to enjoy themselves. It was so cute how very serious they took it and how completely different they all came out. I loved bringing a pieces of nature inti the classroom and teaching them to look at things in a slightly different way.
