AK's Leaf Project

On Monday we took a leaf walk to find our perfect leaf/leaves for our Leaf Man/Boy/Girl/Pet.  This is a language experience activity where the students dictate words or sentences about their creation and we write down what they say.  Students can usually recall what they said while “reading” it after we hang the picture in the hall.  Reading and writing are connected because the students are actively involved in reading what they have written.
