Turning Over a New Leaf. . .T-shirt

Good evening!  Here is a quick look at our first t-shirt project of the year.  Thank you to Mr. Hendricks and Ms. Tracy for helping the class create these beautiful t-shirts.  We started with "Going on a Leaf Hunt."  We chose leaves with interesting outlines and good veins.  After returning to the classroom, the students chose four leaves to paint using acrylics with textile medium.  Then, the leaves were pressed onto the t-shirt.  Ta-Da!  A first grade fall t-shirt completed!  The students had fun choosing leaves and colors for their shirts. 














Now, all the students will sport their new fall t-shirts on the walking field trip to the pumpkin patch.  We'll be a good looking pile of leaves! 

Cheers,
Mrs. Sienknecht
