Chinese Lanterns


In "China" we made Chinese Lanterns to hang on our tree during our Holidays Around the World Unit. We made a pattern on them for some math practice.

Pattern Block Poinsettia



It was easier to glue on the green and the yellow pattern blocks and then add the red pieces. I used scrapbook paper but you could use regular construction paper or wrapping paper.

Fill out a Pattern Block Survey from Mrs. Wills Kindergarten when finished.

Light the Menorah Game

Hanukkah

Play in Partners. Each student gets a Menorah pattern. The students take turns spinning the spinner. The student needs to say the word of the number it lands on. If they get the word right they get to cut out the word and glue it on top of that number on the Menorah. When they get all the words for that number they get to "light" that candle by cutting an orange piece of paper to look like a flame. Whoever lights all the candles first wins.

Christmas Poinsettia


MEXICO
We marbled painted the large flower green and the small flower red and then cut out a scrapbook paper pot to put them in. We glued it to blue construction paper and shadow cut around it for the background.
