Finger-painting Fall Trees

We have been discussing the colors leaves turn in the fall. We have also been reading many fall books, and we even made a fall book of our very own today. We also got to make our own trees! I gave the students a tree that they colored in. Then, they used red, yellow, and orange paint and finger-painted leaves onto the tree. It was very fun, and we have some fabulous trees hanging out in the hallway! We also filled our spirit stick today with lassos. Our behavior has been so awesome lately! We will be having an ice cream party on Wednesday, when we return from our break. :-)

We did it! We filled our first spirit stick! Can you see it in the picture?
