These leaves came out so cute and made my hallway bulletin board really stand out. The students had so much fun making them!
My students loved creating their own leaf character and writing a fictional story to go with it. It was a great addition to the halls for Grandparents Night!
Such a great resource! Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!
Very cute crafts and great writing resource for my first graders.
This was a great resource to give to the children I work with.
Used this when I had a sub and hadn't started our new writing unit. My kids loved it.
I used this with my students after I read Leaf Man to them. They loved the idea of being a "leaf man" and using their imaginations to where they would travel to. After they did their writing and their leaf I hung them in the hallway. They are perfect for fall. Thanks for a fun resource.
I love this resource and look forward to utilizing it for many years!
Thank you!
