Popcorn Sight Word Game

Draw a bag of popcorn and write words that you want to work on  in each kernel.  Say a word out loud and have them find it and cover it with a piece of real popcorn. Or, have them read the words and cover them as they read them.  When they have covered all the words, let them have their popcorn snack.

Newspaper Gift Wrap

First, we painted some newspaper...



...then we worked on some newspaper bows.
  
You fold about a 6 inch wide strip of newspaper in half, the long way. 


Then you cut thin strips along the edge, leaving a little room at the bottom .


And you roll it up and tape it.



Here's the final product :)

Christmas Star Garland

I cut out star shapes from an old book and sewed them together to make a star garland.
 


Here is the finished tree after the kids decorated it.  Notice all the decorations near the bottom :)
