Megan's 6th Grade Leaf Project

For the past few weeks, we have been searching for leaves for a school project.  The theme she chose was Halloween.  She worked on much of this project with Alex and they hunted leaves together and spent some time working on their books together.  This is the finished product, well a little bit of it anyway, it ended up being 60 pages (30 identified leaves and the reports).

 A poem and Title page

 Another poem and the Table of Contents

 One of the leaf reports and the leaves (pin oak)

 Bradford Pear (an extra credit leaf)

 Weeping Willow (extra credit leaf)

Then she decorated a shoe box up for her extra credit we collected, like the pine cones, acorns, etc...

Now we have to do this all over again in 2 years with Nic.  I hope we remember where we found all the leaves.  It was some good family time spent on this project.
