Some School Projects

For preschool the other day, the kids and I made these cool Christmas trees. Basically, you print out a picture of a Christmas tree on green card stock, then you punch holes in it with a hole punch. The bigger the hole the better. Then you turn the tree over, and glue small pieces of colored tissue paper over the holes on the back. Once the glue dries, hang the tries in the window, and when the sun shines through them it will look like lights glowing on the Christmas tree. The pictures doesn't do it justice. And I didn't have as many colors of tissue paper as I would have liked. But I was really happy with how these turned out, and the kids love seeing them hanging up on our sliding glass door.

Ivan and I also talked about letter J this week. We made some cute jungle J's and also did a fun sorting activity. I gave him a picture of a large jar, and a whole bunch of little pictures, some that started with letter J and some that didn't. He had to sort them, and glue the pictures that started with J inside the jar, and the ones that didn't on the outside of the jar.

This picture is off of pintrest because our printer is out of colored ink, so I had to print ours off in black and white and it didn't look as cute. But Ivan didn't seem to mind the un-cute factor, and had a really good time sorting out the beginning sounds of each of the pictures.
