Cottonwood Creek

Hello! 

I Hope that all of you had a wonderful weekend celebrating our beautiful country's Independence Day! We had a fun time preparing and decorating for the Fourth of July! We shared what our plans were and went over what NOT to do close to fireworks. We also went over things that were helpful to have in hand in case of an emergency.

 

We also had great time making fireworks with our own hands (well, metaphorically speaking). First, we took a couple of pieces of blank paper. Second, we folded it into two and traced our hands. Then, we cut the traced hands and got to use bright colors to paint the hands. After that, we took shiny glitter and poured as much or as few as they wanted to then we let it dry and stapled it all together to make it look like a bursting firework. Lastly, I taped it to the front window of the classroom and put a sign that read "Cottonwood Creek wishes you a happy 4th of July!"

 

That was not all! We also did a color by number coloring worksheet that showed colorful fireworks! The day before Fourth of July one of the kids brought a movie so we had a movie day and a snack to finish off the fun week! Hope you enjoyed yourself as much as we did this past week!
