Seasons

For this project, we had to create a tree either in fall or winter.  We traced our arm and our hand on a piece of brown paper.  This would be used for the tree trunk and the branches.  We then could use tissue paper or cotton balls for our tree.  There was fall colored and white tissue paper for either the fall or winter scene.  The cotton balls could be used for clouds or snow on the tree.  Once we had filled in our tree branches with our choice of season, we could add other effects with glitter like the sun, grass, snowman, snow, ect.  I chose to do the fall scene with tissue paper as the leaves and cotton balls as the clouds.  I used glitter to make the sun and the grass on the ground.

This project would be great for 1st or 2nd graders learning about the seasons.  This could be used for any season of the year, and the student's could create their own tree according to the season.  Student's would be able to learn what colors go with each season and how the seasons look; if they are darker and cold, or warmer and lighter.  This would be a good project for student's to see each season.
