Fall - Outside and In

Outside:


Photos from our walk the other weekend.

Gorgeous lighting...

Gorgeous colors...

Along the Mississippi.





And inside:

The other day one of my kindergarten students came in holding something behind his back. He pulled this leaf art out:

...and said "This is for you for being the best teacher." Aw! I hung it in the window of our classroom.

And a fall project:

All four kindergarten classes created a collage mural based on The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, only we called it The Windy Day to match the season.

Each class made leaves in a different way. I had my students make handprint leaves, which we cut out and added to the mural:

Looks a little busy in the photo, but it's super cute. The kids love seeing all their work up in the hall!

And just yesterday, I got another fall gift from one of my kiddos:

An apple for her teacher! So sweet.

  1. The mural is wonderful. The Snowy Day was one of my favorite books. What a clever way to adapt it.

  2. There is nothing quite like a clear path full of autumn leaves! Love that picture.
    Oh, and how lucky to get apples! (I wish they'd still do that in secondary!)
