Just a few new ideas

I thought I would let you see a few of things we have been doing in my classroom.

This is our bulletin board outside our door. We made fall leaves using the kids hand print. We took paper plates cut them into the shape of a pumpkin and painted them. They made  the apples by gluing  red construction paper squares to precut apples. The other leaves on the board are scented leaves. We made these by picking a leaf from outside, covering one side with glue, then turning it onto a piece of construction paper to make a print and finally sprinkling it with strawberry flavored Jello. It smells so good! I had one of the teachers ask me later, " Why do you smell like cotton candy?"

For the letter F we made footprints. I may do this with my own kids and frame it. What a great way to begin your day with this reminder. Now for those times when you are not at home and  you think you will loose it( like me), may I suggest a t-shirt. 

For the letter R we made a rabbit.
