When I was in first grade, my teacher Carol Jones had us make Santas using our whole body as a template. I remember being so excited to complete mine and when I got to bring it home....wow! I was pumped! lol! My mom hung up my Santa and the one my brother made when he was in first grade until we were in high school and they finally fell apart. When I started teaching Kindergarten, I knew one thing I had to do....Santas! For 2 days, my room is covered in glitter, paper, glue, and cotton balls and the kids have an awesome time. Every spare minute between academic times, we worked Santas! When the students finally get to see their completed (lesson one- let the glue dry under the glitter before picking up!) Santa hung up in the hallway, the smile on their face is priceless! I wish I could show Mrs. Jones that she lives on in my classroom. I am proud to say I used one of her ideas!
