Hannah is a senior this year, and Katie is a freshman. I'm in my 4th year teaching/library-ing.
We've done a lot of fun art projects in the library this year (and read lots of fun books, of course!).
These were our Thankful Turkeys
I got a new shelf bench, and Paul assembled it for me.
The middle school students made cards to send to Operation Gratitude for inclusion in their military care packages.
I also got to share my love for Tudor history with the middle schoolers, spending a couple weeks telling them about various characters of the times.
I took this picture before adding the bow above the pine cones. Rustic ornaments made with the middle schoolers.
3rd grade is getting picture biographies as their theme this year. I shared Cracker Jacks (which debuted at a Worlds Fair) with them while we learned about the creation of the Ferris Wheel.
I did this Rainbow Fish project with K-2nd, and it was challenging for them, but a good introduction to weaving.
Mixed media! 8x10" canvases painted blue, brown construction paper triangles run through a paper crimper twice (at different angles), shaving cream and glue "ice cream," hole punched sprinkles, construction paper "chocolate" for the mint chip, and pom pom cherries. These were inspired by Andrea Nelson on Instagram.
My example snow globe. (solo cups & lids, foam pellets, and cupcake toppers)
A student skateboard with one of Katie's ducks on it. The skateboard is a mini craft stick, the wheels are mini pony beads, and the axles are coffee stir sticks.
Second grade finished Rainbow Fish weaving projects
I'll bet library time is the kids' favorite time at school! These are all so fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd how are your girls so grown up!? I know mine are growing up, but it feels like yours should stay little. :)
