Christmas Tree Collage Card

Hi again! Thought I would share the fun project we'll be doing this week in class: some beautiful Christmas Tree cards made from a collage of torn paper. This are a little tricky to do, so the not-so-artistic students can do a simpler collage tree I kept from last year. For this project you'll need as many shades of green paper you can find!


Materials:
  ☆ carstock (for the card)
 ☆  scraps of green paper
 ☆   white and brown paper
 ☆  glue & scissors
 ☆  ruler
 ☆  accent stars

 Instructions:
1. Start by tearing thin strips of green paper and gluing them onto a sheet of green construction paper.

2. Trace 2 different sized triangles with a ruler and cut them out.
3. Tear a "mountain" of snow in the white paper and glue it onto your card.
4. Place your triangle trees where you like.
5. Finish with rectangular tree trunks and accent stars!

Hi there! I'm starting to get ready to go back to my classroom and decide to start by added pillows to my reading corner! The best part are the zippers I've added because it makes them so easy to remove and wash! My new ones have giant broccolis/trees and will be a great addition to the other ones!

End of Year Bookmarks!

Hey guys! Another school year just ended for me. I always get a little sad when I have to say my goodbyes to my little kiddos, but you know what? I'm so grateful to have been part of their lives and trusted with their education. So I always like to show my gratitude by making them a little gift, and hopefully they get a little sense of how much it meant to me being their teacher!
I erased all of their names for my post, but they all found each other, and thought it looked like themselves!

Silly Father's Day Cards

It's father's day! What better way to say "I'm thinking of you" than to make a card. One year, I bought one, and my dad looked sad! Lesson learned, every one I care about will always get a card made with love from now on.... :)

I made a silly card for my dad this year because he has the best dad jokes ever. I found the idea here and added my own personal touch. If you're a font lover like me, you can find the one I used here.

I thought I'd also include my hamburger cards, since I made them with my grade 4s this week and they LOVED it! 


The hamburger cards are always a hit!

Happy Sunday everyone, expecially the dads out there! xo
