A Leaf Man’s got to go Where the Wind Blows…
In class, we read the book A Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert. (Nolan and Bryan) The last page said “Maybe you’ll find a leaf man waiting to go home with you.” (Kylie) So we went outside to pick leaves and find our own leaf man. (Maria)
We picked leaves of all different colors, sizes, and shapes. (Kamea and Heather) We were surprised when we found a tree with humongous leaves. (Keyshuwn) Back in the class, we dumped our bags of leaves and sorted them. (Brian R. and Tiffany) We used field guides to help us research what type of tree the leaf came from. (Olivia) We learned the BIG ones are from the catalpa tree. (Ayana)
Later, by putting the leaves together, we created our own “Leaf men”. (Matthew) It was fun! (Sam) Here are some pictures to show you. (Kamea)

Dear Ms. Hill,
I had such a great time with your students on Friday. The leaf creatures looked great, and so did the flower paintings outside. I was super impressed.
I love you, = )
