Elliot and I created our ghost leaves this afternoon to wrap up our tree study with some Halloween inspiration. I got this adorable idea from @woodlark and I just love them. We each had 3 leaves and after Elliot painted one coat, we let them dry and then I added a few more and drew the faces. Boo!

Finishing up with Autumn Tree Study Week, over the past few days we accomplished pretty much all that was on my list. We still need to make our ghost leaves so we will do that tomorrow.

  • We learned how trees grow from The Magic & Mystery of Trees by Jen Green
  • did some tree rubbings on two of our maple trees in the yard
  • Elliot traced all different types of leaf shapes (linework practice) from Trees: A Rooted History by Piotr Socha & Wojciech and Grajkowski
  • Had an art lesson on drawing leaves
  • Created a leaf collage with leaves I collected from our yard
  • Read Sky Tree by Thomas Locker and really loved the beautiful paintings
  • Read Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert

We both enjoyed studying trees this week. Elliot really loved that Daddy was part of some of the lessons too. Looking forward to next weeks nature study, which is all about pumpkins. Perfect timing with Halloween right around the corner.

Moving on with Autumn Tree Study Week we read a few pages from The Magic & Mystery of Trees by Jen Green and learned:

  • the three things trees need to grow
  • anatomy of trees
  • all different shapes they have
  • what it looks like inside of the trunk

We also practiced the letter T and some writing, Elliot drew a tree ring diagram and got crafty by creating his own mosaic tree.

Later we will read a little bit more about the magic of trees and excited for more nature lessons and projects over the next several days.
