Valentine Project and Giveaway Reminder!

Hi everyone! First off, I want to remind you about our AWESOME giveaway which ends tomorrow afternoon. You can read about it here.

I also want to thank Jennifer from First Grade Blue Skies for coming up with this darling snowman project:

As I was sitting in my classroom this week admiring them it made me thnk of doing a 3 dimensional heart for Valentine's Day. So here is what I came up with on the spur of the moment:

1. I cut heart templates from legal sized file folders. I made a variety of heart shapes and sizes so that the children could choose.
2. The children decided on a color of paper and traced the heart 2 times. Then, they crumpled up paper towels to put between the 2 layers.
3. After I stapled their 2 layers together, the children decorated their hearts with pieces of scrapbook paper and buttons.

4. Once the decorating was finished I sprayed them with red glitter spray.

5. The final touch was adding a name tag and some raffia . . .

Snow Fun

I know several of you wonderful bloggers out there have done versions of this cute idea! I changed it up a bit to work with my bulletin board. We did "Snowman all Year" on one side and "Snowmen at Night" on the other so that it could be flipped upward to see both sides of the students paper.

Thank you to our amazing PTA! Our class is getting a Smart Board next week!

Thanks Bloggy Friends!

Hi Ladies! I just wanted to say thanks for cheering me up! I kindof had a case of the "blahs" tonight. Been moving furniture all day, laundry is piled up etc etc blah blah blah . .  but when I got on the computer and started reading your blogs and reading comments you left on this blog it really lifted my mood! I can now journey forth and organize a closet! Yeah!

Winter Fun.

The wall outside our classroom is looking pretty darn cute these days. . .thanks to Jennifer at First Grade Blue Skies for the darling snowman design and for Deanna Jump at Mrs. Jump's Class for her version of the snowglobe.
