Actually think that what they love more guessing what was made with the leaves, as opposed to the wonderful story, but hey who can blame them? I was a little bit late reading this book this year an but once again the Leaf Man has visited our room.
After reading the story, I take my students out and pick several different kinds of leaves. Once back in the room we make a leaf person and have a cut apart sentence to go with the leaf person. The sentence says "The Leaf Man goes where the wind blows." Here are the pictures.
A whole group shot.
A few close ups.

I read this with my kindergarten and 1st grade ESOL students. They then colored their own leaves, I cut them out, and they glued them to a poster to make their own "leaf objects". They made butterflies, fish, and turtles. It was a great lesson!
