Happy
2014!!!!
New
Year Activities and Celebration!
Fireworks
(straw painting)
I
did this with my K1 class and it was a lot of fun and easy to make.
I cut up straws in various lengths and the give my students different
color of paint. All they needed to do was to create their own
fireworks on black construction paper. We saw some different and
unique fireworks in the class!
Taipei
101 Fireworks (pipe cleaner stamping)
This
is also another way to make fireworks and it looks great! I saw this
idea from a teacher's blog and it worked very well. I needed to make
the fireworks stamps with pipe cleaners first. I could even make it
into a ring. Then I added some glitter to different color of paint.
The children used the fireworks stamps (made from pipe cleaners) and
stamped them onto the black construction paper. On the second day of
our project, I asked them to cut out their own Taipei 101 from
colored paper and they also put 2014 on their project!
Science
experiment (Fireworks in the water)
The
ingredients I used for this experiment are water, oil, clear
container and food coloring. Since it's the new year and we've been
talking a lot about fireworks, I thought it would be fun to water
some fireworks in the water. I had a clear jug and filled up 2/3
with warm water. Then I had another container and added some oil. The
next step is to added a few drops of different colors of food
coloring and mixed it with a spoon. The last step is to pour the
mixture in the water. You have to wait a bit for the colors to start
moving in the water. The children were amazed looking at how the
colors moved.
New
Year Photo Booth props
I
got my photo booth props printables from here http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Photo-Booth-Calendar-with-Props-Gift-book-1032741 . It
was a really cute idea for new year pictures. All I did was print
out the pictures and asked the children to color them, then I cut
them out and added straws to the pictures! Now they can pose for new
year pictures with these adorable props!!
