AUTUMN LEAVES AND BUDS 1/3 



9. A child draws, for example, an oak leaf; the 

 children criticise the drawing. 



10. Beautiful autumn leaves are mounted on pan- 

 els. These panels are strung together and hung 

 upon the walls at the top of the blackboards. A 

 pupil points to the leaves and names rapidly. 



1 1 . Leaves of various trees are given to the chil- 

 dren. Seeds of these same trees are also given to 

 them. The children arrange the leaves on their 

 desks and place upon each leaf the corresponding 

 seed. 



12. Cut slips of cardboard five by ten inches. Upon 

 each slip print, or write with a brush, the name of a 

 tree. Scatter these slips about the room, placing 

 them on the ledge of the blackboard. 



Upon the table place leaves of the trees named 

 upon the cards. 



A child is asked to pick out a leaf and place it by 



its name. The class say, "Yes, "(calling the 



name of the child), if the leaf is correctly placed, or 



N O) ," if the leaf is placed by the wrong slip. 



See which one can match correctly the largest num- 

 ber of leaves and cards. 



To vary the exercise, slips may be chosen to 

 match the leaves.
