One of my all time favorite fall books has to be "Leaf Man" by Lois Ehlert! The illustrations are so vibrant and wonderful. I really enjoy sharing this book with my students each year. This year, I used our school's die-cut machine to cut out several leaves of various fall colors. The students were able to make their own "leaf creatures" with the leaf cutouts! We then named our leaf creatures and wrote about their likes and interests. The students really enjoyed it, and now we have a wonderful fall display in our classroom!
Hope you have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!!
Those are super cute! What a great idea!
