Christmas Flowers Gifts Blog
Christmas: flowers, gifts, trees, family. Christmas is gifts and trees to many, but family, friends, sparkle, parties, children and has great religious significance to others. Love the cheap highly flammable perfume from Auntie or the socks your granny knitted that come to your armpits or not - You gotta love Christmas!Permanent link: Christmas ideas for teachers
Christmas ideas for teachers
Another way to keep the younger kids occupied is the craft angle. Coloring might be good for the wee ones, but it won't work for long. Cutting out snowflakes by folding paper is a classic—and it works too! Tree decorations, cards, and snowmen will keep their little hands busy for a while at least. The older kids are a bit tougher. They consider themselves old enough so that the ole ‘be good or you'll get coal in the stocking' lecture doesn't work so much and they need those touch more specific tasks and instructions. Coloring just won't cut it, much to everyone's dismay. (Although there is a reason that snowflakes are such a classic!) If there's a spare bulletin board in the class, try making a mural out of construction paper. One group does the fireplace, another does Santa, another does a table with a glass of milk and cookies, another does the tree, and so on and so on until everything gets stapled up together to make one big mural. It's a great project because it shows teamwork at its best. Another fun project is to get a bunch of mini-pumpkins, the ones that you can hold in the palm of your hand. Cut out the middle of it, including the stem (you'll need a semi-sharp knife, which if why this is meant for older students), and then try to clean out the inside of the pumpkin without widening the hole. Then you get a pair of candles and can stick them inside to make beautiful festive candleholders. It doesn't take long and makes a good Christmas gift.
