Elves

Dot painting

The last two days, we have been using the dot paints. Later this week, we are going to turn them into ornaments for the hallway.

Shelf Elves

Speaking of shelf elves, they are back in the classroom and making a mess! Come back for more misadventures and pictures all the way up to Christmas Break!

Dot paint turkey

The 3 day class used dot paints to make a turkey on Friday.

Fork painting turkey

This week we painted with forks on a paper plate and turned it into a turkey. Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures of the kids finished projects, only my sample I made for the kids to look off of as they painted.

Christmas

I found these great Christmas resources! Activities and a list of educational Christmas presents. These are pictures, so you will need to type in the link.

Trees and leaves

Here is the hallway display! It’s made up of two projects. The leaves I mentioned in the previous post that the students easel painted a couple weeks ago. We added them to the fall trees we also created. We traced the students hand and arm to make the tree. We then used leaf shaped cookie cutters dipped in fall colored paint and stamp them on the paper to make fall leaves on the tree. Love our hallway art gallery!

Turkey

Here is the bulletin board outside the classroom! It is made from the easel painting the students did a couple weeks ago. We cut them into turkeys and leaves. Pictures of the leaves soon.

Numbers

The 3 day class has practiced putting numbers in sequential order.

Working on updates

Sorry for the lack of updates! November has been a very busy month with testing, assessments, parent teacher conferences and unfortunately, I got sick in the middle of everything. Posts and pictures are coming soon!

Letters

Today we practiced spelling our names and identifying the letters in our name using poster letters.
