Part of the freedom of teaching in rural Alaska is deciding to take your kids on a hike during class. So this past Thursday Gretchen took the students into the woods around the school to collect leaves.
This was an activity I always enjoyed as a student, so I was every excited to share it with my kids. To my surprise a lot of these students had never made a leaf print.
Using colored crayons of all the fall colors we made impressions of the many leaves found around Arctic Village and interior Alaska.
We then framed the prints on colored construction paper and hung them in my classroom.
