Oh, Christmas Tree!

Oh, Christmas tree! Oh, Christmas tree!  How lovely are your branches!

We enjoyed an action packed day of all things Christmas tree.  Here are some ideas and suggestions for you to use with your students.

We made Christmas trees writing sums or differences based on the number of the star. This was a great way to informally access student's knowledge of math facts.

We practiced writing words with the long e sound onto trees; a notepad I purchased from the dollar section at Target last year.

Our art activity was a litle messy but worked on fine motor skills.  I found the idea from we heart art.  At first, they did not look so pretty but I think they make a beautful bulletin board display.

Here is what it looks like up close.

Hope it inspires you! Maybe you'll use these ideas with your class next year!

Happy Teaching and Learning!
