Students in PreK, K, 1st and 2nd grades collected objects from their hikes on Mountain day and then created beautiful pieces of art to take home with them.  It was a fun day, seeing the students out in nature and exploring the woods with them.  They were thrilled to fill their paper bags with fallen leaves, pinecones, pine needles, rocks, moss, bark and other cool finds.  We sorted the objects in their bags in the art room to share with other classes.  Students then enjoyed making leaf rubbings, decorating leaves and bark, making sun catchers, leaf collages and yarn wrapped sticks.  It was a really special day, one I was honored to be a part of.
