Christmas - Easter:)

Boy, this blogging thing is hard:(  Not the blogging but the time to accomplish it! I've been so busy with my little guys.  Christmas and Winter was such a wonderful time.
We were all very excited for Christmas - so we made an angel tear off chain. When all the chains are gone the angel becomes a Christmas tree ornament.






This was a fun and easy project





 We love patterns - so we painted a pattern "J" for Jesus for our door decorations.  It turned out very nice.

I love teaching at a Christian school that allows me to share the truth about Christmas and the birth of our Savior, Jesus!
In January we talked about Martin Luther King, Jr. and my little guys hopes and dreams. We also went ice skating - pretend of course with wax paper as we sang:

You skate with me
I'll skate with you
We'll skate together till we turn blue.
123 123 turn around
123 123 twirl around
We'll skate together till we fall down!

My little guys also loved our pretend snowball fight:)  I took my husband's tube socks and rolled them and created a basket full of soft wonderful snowballs. Great fun!

I Love these snowmen!


I made a boot stencil from a file folder. Then they bounced like Tigger with a  sponge on a clothespin .




 President's Day projects were a lot of fun. We made log cabins for Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and we talked about telling the truth while we made cherry trees from our arm and hand print.
Valentine animals made from hearts.




 Our Valentine "mailboxes" made from grocery bags.  I covered one side with construction paper, folded the top over about 2 inches and stapled. I cut a rectangle for the mail slot and then let my little guys decorate. They loved taking turns being the mail person as they delivered their Valentines.
We all enjoyed an early Spring with our hand print birds and flowers.

I bought wooden crosses at Michaels for a $1 and we glued on orzo and then painted them with Spring colors.  They were added to our classroom Easter bulletin board with angels and a poster of our risen Lord. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture - looked nice.


Our milk jug bunny baskets for our egg hunt.

My little guys had such a wonderful time!
I can't believe our school year is almost over.  I'm having a blast! Most of my little guys have turned four and they are constantly amazing me!!! This took far too long - I must do a better job of updating monthly:)
