Before school got out for Christmas Break 1st-4th grade students had some practice cutting snowflakes. Some classes cut squares, some rectangles and some cut triangles. When they were finished each student made their own resolution or promise to themselves and wrote it on their snowflake. You may be able to see some of the writing if you look closely. They did not share their wishes/promises with anyone unless they chose to. The snowflakes were then hung on the bulletin board arranged to make three larger snowflakes.
In the Art Room every class has an opportunity to earn 5 points during their class. The first class that gets to 30 points gets to keep the art trophy (shown below) for the month. These points are based upon Michael Linsin's book Classroom Management for Art, Music, and PE Teachers.
