Happy New Year!

Wow, I can't believe it is already 2015! Happy New Year to everyone, we are already one week into school and it is amazing to see how much my little ones have grown and matured over the holiday. I loved spending time with my family over the holidays, and it sure has been hard on my little guy this week going back to the day home routine after spending two weeks with Mom and Dad full time.

We had lots of fun this week in the classroom!
We made time capsules to be opened in a year to see what we were like WAY back in grade one!!

 The students did a cute little New Year's Resolution creativity. They loved making their little party kids!

We also made some cityscape New Year's Eve Firework artwork! Phew! Some students had NEVER seen fireworks before, so we watched a video on Youtube which the kids loved, and then we painted our background, added some salt to the picture, cut out our cityscape and then used glue and glitter for fireworks! They turned out pretty neat, and the kids LOVED making them.

YUP THAT'S A LOT OF GLITTER!!!!

Wow it has been a busy week! If you would like to do these activities with your students, they can all be found in my New Years Countdown activities packet on TPT.

Baby You're a Firework!

 Well it's hard to believe that we've been back in school now for over a week already. The kids are settling back into routines nicely and it has been a pretty calm couple of weeks. Just thought I would share some of the activities we completed from my TPT New Years package. 

Students made their cityscapes with grey paper and cut up pieces of yellow for windows. I then put a blob of sparkly paint on their sheet, and with a pointy stick they pulled out to make the fireworks. Here is what the entire bulletin board looked like:

Students also made their New Year's Resolutions on these little people and I hung them beside the bulletin board.

Hope you have lots of fun with your students in the New Year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

It is hard to believe Christmas is already over and 2013 is almost here! I had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends, eating lots and relaxing lots.

If you are looking for activities to do for the beginning of the 2013 school year I have made a package of different games and activities to fill your first days.

Wishing everyone a blessed and happy 2013!!
