"Where is the Leaf" Book
October 9th, 2009
We made a book called “Where is the Leaf” to practice words like on, in, over, behind and under.

First Hailey colored the pictures.

Then she cut the pages apart.

The cover of the book.

Hailed added a leaf sticker in the box and then glued a flap on to the top of the box.

A leaf sticker on the dog.

Hailey put a leaf sticker under the table and then glued on a tablecloth flap.

Leaf sticker above the cat.

And behind me- open the flap and there is another leaf sticker.
We also practiced some patterns:

Hailey had to match up the items on to the card and then figure out what was supposed to go into the empty box.

Pattern practice with squirrels.

Pretty Fall Leaves
October 7th, 2009
These leaves are so simple and they turn out so pretty.

Here’s what you’ll need: coffee filters, markers and a spray bottle.

Cut the coffee filters into leaf shapes.

Color the leaves using some fall colors. The more you fill up the leaf with colors the better it will turn out.

Put some water in your spray bottle and lightly spray the leaf. The colors will run together creating a very pretty look.

Leaf Rubbing
October 6th, 2009
Our theme last week was fall. The first activity we did was some leaf rubbing.

Here’s what you’ll need: construction paper, leaves, crayons with paper removed, tape, scissors and white computer paper.
Tape a leaf to the table and then put the white computer paper on top of the leaf. Add a couple of pieces of tape to the paper to keep it in place.

Rub the side of the crayon over the spot where the leaf is.

Cut out the leaf rubbing and glue it onto a piece of fall colored construction paper.
