Note: This lesson was done in 2012. However, every year we do something similar). Second and third grade students went outside to observe trees and the Y shape of their branches. Next they watercolor painted a tree trunk and branches, grass and sky. The following week the students stamp painted the leaves with small cut up sponges with yellow, orange and red tempera paint. After blow drying their art, they glued on puzzle pieces to mimic falling leaves. Week three, we brainstormed descriptive words to use for poems using our senses including smell, sound, sight, feeling (emotional) and texture (touch) of autumn leaves. Words like scarlet, dancing, floating, spinning, smokey, crunchy, crimson red and pumpkin orange were typed and printed out. Students could then cut out the words to create a poem which we then glued onto red, orange or yellow squares and mounted with their finished trees. Some children preferred to hand-write their poem.
