Here are my top 3 Pinterest Pins for December:
I love these patterns for making gingerbread houses from lunch paper bags by teachwithme.com. We do a "gingerbread activity day" each year and this would be fun! My students LOVE to color! You do need to register with teachwithme.com to get these patterns. I did it and it's very easy and free!
How adorable is this guy? Well....you can teach your students how to make one too with the easy peesy step by step drawing directions from Artventurous. Love it!
Do you have paint chips laying around? These are darling! They are worth the trip to the hardware store, aren't they. Thanks Bargain Hoot for the great idea! What teacher doesn't love a bargain?!
What did we ever do before Pinterest? Do you have some favorite Pinterest picks for this month? We'd love if you would link up with us!
Happy Holidays!

Tricks of the Trade in First Grade
Hi Andrea! If you decide to do it. The last week of school before holiday break when it's crazy, I cover the tables/desks with butcher paper. The kids made maps with roads, parks, signs, etc. and placed their gingerbread houses on them. They were engaged for a while! They LOVED it and....it was great for mapping skills! :)
DeleteWhat a fabulous idea... the gingerbread houses! They look adorable and seem so doable. I think I may be adding these into this years plans.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
