We are currently learning about structures in science class and I don't have the money (nor the patience!) to build gingerbread houses. I should mention that we do have a classroom budget, but I don't want to spend a huge chunk on one day's activities.
In math, we are learning about fractions so I headed to my go to resource sites - Pinterest and TPT - to look for a craftivity for fractions and Christmas. I didn't find any that would for my kids so (gasp!) I made one myself!
I am really happy with how it turned out and had a hard time deciding which craftivity to do with my class! I went with the Christmas tree. All of the cutting and gluing took awhile, but at least they were practicing math facts and making a cute Christmas craft at the same time!
These are my samples - I'll post photos of the kids' trees soon.
I put both the Christmas Tree and Christmas Gift together as one resource available for purchase on TPT. You can get it {here}. If you already have your Christmas projects planned, you may want to consider it for next year! If you do try it out, I would love feedback - let me know how it went! Good or bad :)
Here's to making it through the next two weeks!
