Last week, when learning about the season of FALL, students were to bring a bag of items they found while going on a “Nature Walk” at their home. I drew on white paper a tree top, tree trunk, clouds, grass, etc. and each table colored and cut out something for the mural. Then we glued it on. We all sat around a big table (but not too close to me) and I asked each student to bring me a leaf, then a stick, etc. as I hot glued on all of the nature stuff. Last year, we did this but we just taped it to a piece of paper. I thought it would be more fun if we actually made a mural and glued it where it came from (ex. Leaves on the tree, etc.). I thought that would help them to make better connections. They were so proud of how it turned out! Our art teacher’s daughter is in my class and she yelled out “My mom is going to LOVE this!” J
