Poisson d'avril!




Hi there! Its April 1st! In French, April Fools is "Poisson d'avril" which basically means "April Fish". We love sticking fish on people's backs and playing tricks! Today, during a video chat with my students (schools are still closed for a while), we made some great fish! I found the instructions for the 3D one here (in French, but the images are easy to follow). Also, check out these sweet PDF files to colour!

Valentine's Bear Pencil Toppers

Happy Valentine's Day! I had such a fun time putting together this craft for my students. Instead off making them a card, I decided to make them a small encil topper with a message on it. I even managed to make it bear shape, since that's our class animal. The inspiration came from a project in the Cricut project bank that featured a heart pencil topper. I hope the kids love them!

In case you have a cricut and you're looking for the original project, you can search "Valentine Pencil Topper". Here's what it looks like:
