Christmas

Continuing with our theme of learning about different major winter holidays we read about and did a Christmas art project yesterday. This crayon resist and measurement project is one of my favorites!

Students first did a crayon resist background where they drew snowflakes with white crayon on white paper then watched the snow appear as they painted over the paper with blue water color paint! The crayon resists the watercolor so the backgrounds look like a blue sky with falling snow!

Our most recent math unit focused on measurement so this next step was perfect! Students used rulers to measure and cut green strips of paper to create their trees. They glued the trees onto their background then decorated them in whatever way they wanted. We had some very creative and festive final products!
