easy color and cut- make a standing santa

~ Ms. P. ~ Leave a comment

We are making holiday cards and crafts this week in our makerspace. I doodled a santa and more for students to cut out and glue to toliet paper rolls (we ran out really fast). Lots of versions emerged with some students using plaid wrapping paper (recycled) instead of solid red paper. I challenged them to recycle as much as possible for this craft. I printed the image below for them to color, cut and glue. I also invited them to doodle their own if they preferred. Print the image below if you need a handy busy hands paper activity, Happy crafting!

For this year’s COMIC CON, our 5th graders celebrated the genre with reading, making and movie watching. Check out some images of the celebration below, and view our Superhero bitmoji room used during a computer lab rotation. Our comic con scheduling including rotating students through 6 areas of the library and alternate outside stations. This was a little hurried but everyone was busy and never bored!

Stations included superhero/monster cookie making, vintage movie clips (original Batman costumes were commented upon), Star Wars paperbag puppets, sidewalk chalk, and computer lab activities. Students did have time for flashlight reading in the Batcave.
