Leaf Crazy

We’ve been hit by Fall fever. Every morning my students unload their pockets and dump leaves and acorns into our tiny little nature basket. We’re going to have to get a bigger one. It’s been so cool to see the children get leaf crazy.

Yesterday, two of them made a chart showing different kinds of leaf shapes. And today we went out and found some still-green Ginko Biloba leaves. When we got back to school they compared the leaf to their chart — they decided that it was closest to a reniform.
