In our classroom, we have been talking all week about resolutions. We discussed how resolutions and goals are similar. We also talked about how when you set goals, you also have to make steps to complete them. To go along with that, we made this craft.
They recieved two sheets of white copy paper. You could also use construction paper or cardstock. I gave them tracers to trace the circle for the face and the triangle for the hat. You could just print the circle and triangles using a copy machine. I like to use tracers in my class because I believe it is a good skill and I think it gives them ownership of their craft.
This page contains enough for nine students. I printed this on colored paper.
After their fringe is cut, I let them choose their straw color. I keep neon colored straws in my classroom so that is what we used. I taped the fringe around the straw. You could let the students tape it, but I was under a time constraint so it was easier for me to do it.
The students taped it all together and ended up with the cutest project. I hung them on the wall outside of our classroom and they were an immediate hit with students from other classrooms.
I gave the templates to my colleagues so that their students could make them as well. And, I decided to share them with you! You may click HERE to download this for FREE in my Teachers pay Teachers store.
I hope your students enjoy making these as much as mine did. I am
Cordially yours,
