Second Graders: I gave the second grade students a standard piece of construction paper. They were instructed to make a bird. I told them how big their bird should be - otherwise I would end up with a bunch of 3 inch birds. They could add features like wings, eyes, beaks etc with scrap paper provided. I purchased a large wall tree - TREND brand. I added their birds into the branches and filled in with the green leaves and critters. The tree is probably 5 ft tall- it was perfect size for all of our creations. Maybe we will add pumpkins to the ground for Halloween
Second Graders : Students were given a regular 9x12 piece of construction paper. They were instructed to cut a line pattern across the sheet. They glue the strip to a 12x18 construction paper in another color. They continue to cut strips and glue them onto the second sheet like a puzzle. A small space is left between each strip.
