Tree art project

Today we did another art project. The students were given trees that they had to color in. Then, they got to finger paint leaves onto the trees. We have been talking a lot about the colors that the leaves turn in the fall. In fact, I am planning on having them go on a leaf hunt next week (weather permitting). Anyways, they did a great job on their trees, and they are proudly displayed in our hallway. Later in the day, we did math centers. The centers were making pictures out of pattern blocks, sorting, building patterns with cubes, and another pattern game. Of course, the post wouldn't be complete without pictures from the day. :-)
