Holiday Wreaths

All the students made holiday decorations to give their parents.  The wreath is made from handprints and the berries are thumbprints.  Students copied the poem in their best handwriting to make a wonderful keepsake from first grade.  

And then I forgot to hand them out at the end of the party.  So have a look at this lovely photo this year and they can decorate your houses next year...  So sorry.

Holiday Ornaments

This year our school charity project is to sell holiday ornaments to raise money for Habitat for Humanity.  Since they are about building houses, every grade level's ornaments have a house theme.  First graders brainstormed winter and holiday words, as part of our science discussion about seasons, and then chose words to type while we learned some things about using a word processing program.  Then we printed the words on our house templates and engineered some wintry houses.  Ornaments are on sale tonight during the choir performances and will be available while supplies last!  Suggested donations are $2, but give what you want to contribute!  Here are some cute 1st graders with their ornaments:
