Student Christmas Gift

RUDOLPH AND HIS NOSE  

Last year I gave my Firsties a super cute christmas gift. You have probably seen it before on Pinterest. It is all over the internet. But I want to share our christmas gift anyway with you. 

I did not find any red lollipops. Swiss supermarkets probably do not sell any strawberry lollipops at all ;). I had to improvise a little and wrapped the lollipop (all different kind of) in red tissue paper. This is super easy and takes no time.

Cutting out over 20 little Rudolphs... Brrr! Not a good idea. 
Lucky me I found Stephanies amazing blog and she not only shared her version of the Rudolph-Lollipos she also shares a Silhouette Cameo cutting file! Thanks to Stephanie because I did not only save a LOT of time, my Rudolph looked so much better than if I would have cut them on my own.

I added cute little faces with my Sharpie.

And, like Stephanie, I wrote a christmas note to my students. "Ich wünsche dir frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr 2016 2017. Deine Lehrerin". Is German and simply means: I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2016 2017. Your teacher.

My First Graders loved their Rudolph-Lollipos a lot! 

Thank you for visiting!

Lots of love from Switzerland,

Winter art project

MITTENS IN WINTER   

One of my most popular posts is the mitten winter art project I did with my second graders two years ago {original post}. I found this idea on this french page here.

We cut and teared tissue paper in small pieces and glued them on the mitten printable I found here.

After we covered everything with acrylic varnish. 

While the varnish was drying we started with our beautiful winter background.

We used blue, white and black paint for the background. To get a much more interesting structure we used a sponge instead of a paintbrush. It is important to mix the colors on the piece of paper to give it a cold, freezing look.

Some of my little ones added beautiful snowflakes to their backgrounds.

At the end we just glued a wooden clothespin on the background and hung the mitten.

If you add a "clothespin" it looks as if alle the mittens have been stick to a clothespin and are now hanging in the winter cold :).

Thank you for visiting!
