Candy Trees

For the past two years, I have made Candy Houses with the students but this year I switched over to Candy Trees and they were so much fun to make!  I found that the students had much more independence making the Candy Trees and they were able to use their imagination!  I had sent home a letters asking parents to bring supplies and also invited them to come join us!  Here are the results of this years Candy Trees!

To make matters easier, I put the candy into a cupcake tray and lined it, then each tray got filled with the same candy so that there was no fighting!  This concept made it easy for the students to get the candy and it also made it easy for me to refill the candy!

Parents were invited to join their child, making for a fun time!

Very creative, love what they did with the pretzels!

How cute are the candy canes, turned into a heart!

Love the walk way made with Twizzlers and Hershey's Kisses!

Christmas in Class

I absolutely LOVE Christmas and it definitely is the best time of the year!  Here are some of the projects we have done so far to decorate the classroom with Christmas spirit!

I used my Cricut to cut out circles to make snowman name graphs, so cute!!!

We made Christmas trees by ordering the tree from longest to shortest and made snow using Q-tips

Candy Cane thumbprints sealed with a ribbon.  I found that making a line for the students t follow made it much easier for the students.

I have a ghetto Christmas tree from a previous teacher, so I decided to make a ornament tree to replace my old one.  I found this idea on Pinterest and love it!!!

Every year, I make my whiteboard into a mantle and students make stockings and I hang lights to make the front of the classroom look like a fireplace.
