Christmas time is here...

Students grades K-6 have been busy making ornaments to decorate the tree in the hallway. Kindergarten and First Grade made the reindeer, Second Grade made the round ornaments, Third Grade made the snowmen, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Grade made the 3D stars. It turned out beautifully colorful!


The snowmen took a lot of prep work, painting the popsicle sticks white, cutting out felt scarves, hats and noses. The students enjoyed this crafty day though and they turned out great! Details drawn on by students using sharpie, along with hat, nose and scarf placement.


Kindergarten and First grade reindeer made with model magic! The first day I let the students play with a small ball of model magic, making any shapes they liked (none of them have ever seen it before.. most of them thought it was marshmallows:)). At the end of class, they rolled it into a ball, flattened it and put their fingerprint in the middle. While it was still wet, I made the hole using a straw. Day two, they drew the antlers using sharpie, painted the brown and used a toothpick to make two dots for eyes. I added the pupils(sharpie) and puffy paint, red nose once dry. So cute!
