‘Tis the season to shine! What word captures how you feel about the holidays?
1.
The holidays are a time of tradition, family and friends. What types of holidays do students in your class celebrate?
2.
Compare and contrast the class’s holiday traditions. How are the celebrations the same? How do they differ? Think about what words remind you of the holidays. Peace? Joy? Love? Choose a word that captures the feelings of the holidays for you.
3.
Glue a piece of aluminum foil onto a piece of recycled cardboard. Allow the glue to air dry. Draw the holiday word in block lettering on a piece of cardboard. Use scissors to cut out the word to create an ornament.
4.
Decorate the foil on the ornament using Crystal Effects Window Markers. The sparkle of the foil combined with the crystal-like marker effect makes a unique holiday shine. Tie on a ribbon to hang your ornament.
