So Halloween got away from me!  Here are some things we did to hang in the hallway and decorate our classroom.

We had some very creative ghosts hanging out on our bulletin board!  As the board says, this class is spook-tacular!

We made owls out of left over scrap book paper to hang in the hallway.  They did a good job keeping an eye out for everyone!

We painted pumpkins to put in the windows of our classroom.  Everyone did an awesome job painting.  We had stripes, polka dots, color blocks, and even a Rapunzel!

Some ladies from 4H came to the school and talked to all of the elementary students.  They taught us what the 4 Hs are and what 4H is all about.  Then we got to make a 4 leaf clover with our hands!  That paint was cool :)

We worked together with the 2nd grade class to make Halloween Hands.  We filled plastic gloves with candy corn for fingernails, then popcorn the rest of the way.  Once we tied off the end of the glove we added a creepy spider ring to a finger.  We had a lot of fun making this project!

Here is the group dressed up on Halloween.  Nice picture then a scary (can't you tell?) picture.  This year there was a horse, Spider Girl, Belle, 2 Ironmans, Elsa, a swat team member, and a Monster girl in the 1st grade room.  We had a blast trick or treating at the nursing home, assisted living, and high school.

I think that is all for an October recap!

Think warm thoughts :)

Fall art projects

Again, here I am playing catch up with some fall art projects we have created.  Project time is by far my favorite part of the week.  We do a project every Wednesday and sometimes Fridays.



Fall Leaf Rubbings

When the leaves started falling from the trees, but were still soft, I had my class bring leaves to school.  In science we were learning about plant parts and this project would tie in perfectly.  The students laid a piece of white paper on top of leaves and rubbed the wide side of a crayon over them.  I chose only fall colors for the crayons.  When the papers were filled with leaf rubbings we painted with brown water colors over the entire paper.  Then they used fancy scissors to cut around the edge of the white paper.  Lastly, the students backed their creations with fall colored construction paper. 




Button Trees

 My mom really wanted me to do this project, so I gave in ;)  Partners traced each others arms/hands and then they were painted brown.  After the paint was dry, the kids got to pick out buttons to glue on as leaves.

Fall projects... DONE :)
