Leaf Centers

We had a lot of fun with leaf learning centers. We worked with leaf words using letter tiles, painted positive and negative images of leaves, made leaf graphs by drawing leaf cards out of a bag, ironed crayon shavings around leaves, and stamped and labeled the parts of a plant on our own picture. The centers were very fun. We learned a lot today.

We ironed leaves in crayon shavings, made leaf rubbings, matched letter tiles to vocabulary words relating to leaves and trees, made a leaf man after reading the book by Lois Ehlert, added and subtracted using a matching leaf game, cut out words from the newspaper and glued them onto a paper using the letters L,E,A,V,E,S , and painted positive and negative images of various kinds of leaves.
