Leaf Glitter

This was a fantastic project!  The kids and I went for several walks in the surrounding neighborhoods for a couple of weeks in the fantastic fall weather.  We gathered leaves of every size, shape, color that we could find and brought it back to our room.
We chose the biggest ones to glue on our paper, then the rest we crunched up and made Leaf Glitter!
The kids then made swirling lines with the glue (with help) around their big leaf and sprinkled on the leaf glitter.  They turned out wonderfully!

Fish Bowls

We were reading books about fish tanks and such and decided to make our own.

Thanksgiving gift to parents

As a gift to the parents before Thanksgiving break, the kiddo's and I made turkeys!  We traced out their hand prints and cut a lot of them out in fall colors.  Then used baby food jars, painted the inside with clear glue, covered in glitter, then glued on the hand prints in a turkey feather fan pattern on the back.  They came out super nice and I even made a teacher one for myself that has one hand print from each child as the feathers.

Scarecrow

The kids had fun choosing different color "straw" hair and noses and such.  I prepped the wood popsicle sticks at home the night before to save some time.
