Whether you are enjoying new spring shoots or fabulous fall leaves, we will observe the characteristics of leaves together while making leaf rubbings. We will discover how plants eat through a process called photosynthesis and the valuable roles plants play in our world. The concepts of photosynthesis will be reinforced through experiments that show "how leaves drink" and "how leaves breath". To make leaf rubbings learners will need to bring to class 3-5 fresh leaves, white paper and wax crayons. Bugzy, our classroom rabbit, will also be in class and he has some leaf jokes he'd like to share with everyone.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the art of making leaf rubbings. They will learn the science behind photosynthesis and appreciate the role plants play in our world.

Supply List
Please bring 3-5 freshly picked leaves of various shapes, clean white paper and wax crayons to class, because we will be making leaf rubbings. I encourage you to start a scientific journal and join me for another one of my classes, like Busy Bees and Other Bugs, where we will add to your scientific journals.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
*I have been diagnosed with cancer and will not be taking enrolments at this time.
I am an Early Education Teacher of 20 years and informal ESL Teacher. I strive to make lessons engaging and interactive. My experience teaching both in Canada and overseas has allowed me to see diverse classrooms and teaching situations. I homeschooled my own kids and know that it can be a challenge to schedule in everybody’s academic and social needs while giving them opportunity to develop their own unique talents. My three kids are grown now. One is working in the film industry, another is studying nursing and another is working in recreational sports. I want to support families, like you, who are learning at home.
When I’m not teaching I enjoy working in the garden and growing my own food.
Bye! I’m off to the garden! See you next time!
