Elf Glyphs

On the website www.mathwire.com/glyphs, you can find this elf glyph pattern for your students to cut out and build according to the elf glyph legend.  My grade two colleague, Beatrice, found this great idea on the internet and had her students do them.  They turned out really well. 

Crepe Paper Snowman

My colleague, Beatrice, made these large snowman that covered the height of their bulletin boards.  She used crepe paper, cut up, scrunched and glued to cover the snowman.  They used colourful strips of fabric to finish off the snowman with a scarf. 

Remembrance Day

We use pastels to create a field of poppies for our bulletin board.  I give the students tracers, big and small, to trace poppies to their construction paper.  I give them instructions to outline the poppies and add lighter colours to the center and blend with their fingertips.  The results are impressive.
