Blog 3

                   "FALLING LEAVES"
       
            The topic I chose to focus on for this week's blog is autumn or fall. Since the season has changed I thought this project is a great way to introduce fall and explain how the weather and nature changes during the season. 
         
        I decided to try the project with two little girls that I tutor. Both girls are six years old and were very excited as we collected a few leaves from the backyard. Even though the kids could do the project individually, I thought it would be nice if we could try it as group. The girls pretty much took charge of the entire project, with just a little assistance from me for cutting and gluing. The entire project including drying took about 30 minutes and the final project looked amazing. It was such a great feeling to see young children so interested in art and having so much fun!!

Here is the website where you can find all the instructions and materials:
