This active learning project is designed to keep the students working and engaged instead of giving a lecture of instructions, then allowing the students to work on their project. Students in 1st-3rd grade have limited attention spans and can only grasp one thing at a time. The students will be able to choose between a fall or winter scenery and are able to get creative when adding the background or any other season related objects (snowman, piles of leaves, etc.).
Extension Activity:
It's already in the title, but I could easily tie this project into Science. I would discuss the different seasons with my students, making sure they know what the trees look like during each; spring=starting to bloom, summer=green leaves, fall=brown/orange leaves, winter=no leaves. I would go more in depth with it by talking about how the weather affects the trees and their leaves.
