Francine in the fall I read a great book to my second grade
students called Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert. The book is
beautifully done with awesome pictures of different kinds of
animal shapes. I had my students glue stick their creatures
on black construction paper. I went to Lakeshore Learning
Teacher store and laminated them. They looked terrific, we
displayed them in our second grade hallway for all to see.
