Leaves, Leaves, Leaves!

We read the story The Leaves on the Trees then made this cute fall craft with fingerpaint and toilet paper rolls.  I found this idea and free pattern at All Kids Network:

I loved this craft because it gave our gluesticks a break!  We go through a ton!  Although I mostly post the crafts that we do, our day is also comprised of many learning activities.  Here is our daily schedule:

9:00-9:10        Morning Work (typically a paper from Mailbox's Teacher Helper)
9:10-9:30        Calendar Activities

9:30-10:00      Center Rotations (Math, Reading, Table Toys)
