Big thanks to Christina Aquilina for this idea! Today I hung out with Mrs. Meier’s 1st grade friends and we created our own Leaf Man drawings.
Mrs. Meier had read her students the story Leaf Man, written by Lois Ehlert. We then took to the iPads to make our own original leaf designs. Ms. Aquilina shared a comemories site with me that was already loaded with PNG leaf pictures. This meant they had a transparent background so it was easy to imagine the leaf being something else. The student’s accessed this site from a QR code, saved their favorite leaf to the camera roll and then pulled the image into PicCollage. Then we used the Doodle tool in PicCollage to turn their leaf into something else!
Finally we saved their finished image to the camera roll and then uploaded their projects into SeeSaw. Awesome idea Ms. Aquilina and thanks for collaborating Mrs. Meier!
