dsc_0617-3rd-grade-leaf-projectPick a leaf, any leaf, and tell me what you see? The students in Mrs. Fosbenner’s third grade class asked and answered that question as part of their fall science project now on display in the hallway outside their classroom. As the students examined the 10 leaves that each of them had collected, pressed, and mounted in their project notebooks, they noticed the variety of shapes, colors, and surface textures. But they also learned something even more profound — that God’s creativity can be seen in the unique design of every leaf. “The students realized that even in something as simple as a leaf we can see that our God is a very creative God,” said Mrs. Fosbenner. Students were also required to incorporate at least one Bible verse and one poem about leaves and plants in their notebook and give an oral class presentation about their favorite leaf. The students pictured at right proudly displaying their leaf projects are, from left: Mikayla Cubbage, Graham Schlemo, Amelia D’Anna, and Noah Engle.
