"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Workshop Wednesday

Leaf Hunt

Want to get the kids outside for a little fun! Take them on a leaf hunt. Give each child a Ziploc bag or paper bag to hold their leaves. Go outside and see how many leaves they can find. You can provide a checklist to help narrow their search. Of course you will want to extend this activity by having them sort their found leaves. You could do this in small groups to make it more manageable. There are so many skills to be taught, i.e. colors, counting, vocabulary, etc. and it is FUN. Plus it gets them outside as an extra bonus!
