Well a new year of teaching is in full swing, and using some old and new ideas makes it all the more fun. Every year we spend September learning about our school, our selves and our friends.
Today we learned about our families and some of our favorite things. A fun activity is to trace the childrens arm and hand spread on brown paper for the tree, then I have seen the remainder of the tree done many ways, have them tear green paper into pieces for leaves, make leaves with markers, but we used our thumbs and green paint to make ours. As you will see from the picture they had freedom to place their leaves where they chose. We then used red paint and thumbs to make our family members. We created a family tree. We are proudly displaying our family trees in our room right now
