My school is only in session for the first week of December, so we have to go full swing into the holidays. Only a week to make presents for parents and write letters to Santa! I have my kiddos make gifts for their parents each year. This year the kids were turned into snowmen! I ordered these snowmen from Oriental Trading and had the kids put them together.
I snapped a photo of each of them to add as the face. They made the cutest little snowmen :)
Teacher tip: If you decide to get these snowmen or a magnet craft from Oriental Trading, you may want to glue the magnets to the back. They come with adhesive already on them, but mine never seem to stick for long. I had gingerbread men last year and I had to glue the magnets on as well. I used Tacky Glue.
My boss also picked up some wooden ornaments from the store for them to paint. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of those. Let's just say we are still working on our fine motor skills, so some of them turned out a little on the messy side. I helped the kids wrap both items up and put a gift tag on them. Tomorrow we are also going to make holiday cards to go with the gifts.
We did some reindeer writing this week as well. After reading a holiday book involving reindeer, I gave the kids pieces to cut out to make a reindeer head.
After they glued them together, they opened up their little book and wrote all about reindeer. They know quite a bit, so they were able to fill up the whole page!
That is it for tonight! Come back tomorrow for Christmas cards and letters to Santa!!
