November Projects

A parent who owns a hardware store donated these paint sample strips.  What to make with them?  TURKEYS!  The kids added what they're grateful for.  This activity paired well with
Junie B. Jones, First Grader: Turkeys We Have Loved and Eaten by Barbara Park

We reused olive jars, a little ribbon, and split peas.  We hiked around our school forest to find nature objects.  A beautiful fall arrangement doesn't need to cost a bunch.

Harvest

Our favorite fall bulletin board.  Glue outline on black paper.  Shade with oil pastels.

Tippy-Toe Turkeys - We painted the bottoms of our feet brown and then added the rest.

November - Thanks to mrskarensclass.blogspot.com. We made these last week. The kids took them home to give to Veterans in the family or to friends. Some posted these in local businesses. This one is at Marshall Hardware. Thanks, Veterans, from the bottom of our hearts!

We combined a couple of Pinterest ideas. Thanks to "who's" awesome? by artsy_T on Flickr and packhamspalette.blogspot.com

A great way to use scraps.

October

My son's second grade teacher originally made these with her classes.  God bless you, Mary Sullivan.
