I am Thankful for...

After listening to the story, Fall Leaves Fall by Zoe Hall, students created Fall Leaf collages.

Leaf collages done by Ms. Cappy's Class

Real autumn leaves were used to make these collages.

After listening to Apples and Pumpkins by Anne Rockwell, students created apple collages and paper Jack-O-Lanterns.

Draw, cut, then glue!
