Fall Paper Tree Sculpture

Students will be able to identify the characteristics of the fall season and utilize their fine motor skills by constructing a three-dimensional tree with individualized branches that will be cut and twisted that will stand on a landscape that they will design and construct from their imagination. This activity will focus on building their fine motor skills by testing their hand strength and finesse in order to build the tree. They will also learn about the process of how and why the leaves change colors from the transition of the spring and summer season to the fall season. Lastly, they will write their own observations of what changes occur to the earth during the fall season. A learning objective, subject summary and application in real life, materials needed for each student and the step by step directions needed to create this lesson are all detailed in each of my lesson plans.
