I volunteered to teach art to K-6th grade at a small private school. Here's OUR story.

Week 4: Fall Leaves
Since I haven't done anything seasonal yet, I decided to do something related to Autumn. (If you say "FALL" in Mrs. Dillon's room, all the kids fall to the floor;-) I had the kids cut out colored paper leaves that they perforated with pushpins to give them texture and to let light through when hung in a window. I hung them with rustic looking twine. I got this idea from Family Fun magazine.
I drew three different shaped leaves and photocopied them for each child. They then cut these out and used them as templates for the colored paper. Then with pushpins they made vein lines. Hung in a window they look nice.
Some of the kids even used the white templates and colored those with crayons. The older kids were very quiet and intent on their jobs during this project!
