This week, we worked hard to prepare for our holiday party. The children engaged in many different artistic endeavors in order to prepare for our party. Beginning last week, the students each created an ornament by collaging cellophane on a small plate and adding their picture on either side. Friends also spent time painting green onto paper plates in order to make our classroom Christmas tree. Once the tree attached to the wall, we cut up old group paintings to make ornaments for the tree.
Additionally, the children did another form of collaging where they took a combination of felt and tissue paper and glued it onto a poster board. Friends were eager to also take part in a group painting effort with silver, green, and red paint (with glitter!)
This all culminated Thursday night with the Buckle My Shoe Holiday Party. Friends and their families came to celebrate together and meet Santa and Mrs. Claus. We look forward to one last week together before we go on winter break!
