How many books have we made so far this year?
How many do you have in your Book Treasure Box?
Nov 6 We had so much fun making a book called
My Leaf!
We picked a leaf from our Nature Collection.
Then we did experiments with it and recorded our answers in our book.
Our favorite was counting how many pennies it took to sink our leaf!
Click here to make a copy of the book
