thank you for showing us your chickens!
perhaps this made the biggest impact:
t is for teacher (or therapy…physical therapy?)
g is for grass
we did this to fill our brown bag and ribbon easter baskets, but this could be used for any spring project.
i told the class i didn’t have any of the plastic easter grass so what would we do? cut our own? oops, raining (that was handy). and oops, this was the same day we pretended we didn’t have scissors. then i told them we would use a machine. oooooooooo.
i can’t believe i haven’t done this sooner. we talked safety rules and why this was okay to do at preschool. we talked about rules if they have one of these at home or if they see one somewhere (that they must ask a grown up first, etc). we looked at the cutting part and saw that it wasn’t knives or scissors at all. we looked at the opening and saw that a finger can’t fit in.
then we shredded paper.
look at those faces.
it was delightful to say the least.
they waited their turn, then chose a shade of green and turned it into grass!
y is for yarn
i really can’t explain this because i had nothing to do with it.
but most of the class was involved.
and at the end of the week, i discovered it was all cleaned up.
b is for BIG collage carrot
i decided to use a piece of cardboard and left over orange paper to make a BIG version of our collage carrots (in case that maybe real-maybe not real easter bunny is really hungry).
again, we pretended there were no scissors. again, we used up all the glue we had (for real).
and i should not be surprised that my TTH class thought to dig through the shelves to find orange/green ribbon and lace. i love that!
it wasn’t dry when we left school for easter break, so i am excited to see it finished and shiny from all the glue.
