Seasonal Science Bulletin Board

I wanted a bulletin board based on something we've been working on,  and decided on science. We identified all the science we see around us in the fall season. Then, I can just update the board for winter in December. They thought of things like making hot chocolate, leaves in a pile, colder temperatures, etc. Then they had to explain the science behind it. I think it turned out great. I love the window. I used a transparency sheet for the glass!

Winter Bulletin Board

We had a day with a two-hour weather delay, so I came up with a quick bulletin board for winter. The kids wrote about a favorite book.

Art Club - Painting

I saw this idea on this blog: http://lostpersonshomeschool.blogspot.com/2011/01/winter-art.html

I had to adapt a bit for my age group (I had k-5 all at once). So I put the tape on for the trees ahead of time. We talked about painting the "negative" and they really enjoyed using the watercolors. They turned out great!

To go along with our opinion writing, I had the kids respond to the prompt "Winter is a great season." We were able to crank this out in one session, they were superstars and worked so hard! And I'm so glad I'll be able to leave it up into January.
