Drug Free Week
I needed a door decorating idea for Drug Free Week. I actually got this idea from Sunny Days in 2nd Grade. It was too cute to pass up. Just like the author from Sunny Days, I saw this cute spider on pinterest. I did not know how I wanted to incorporate it in my classroom, but with the help of Sunny Days I do now!! I even used her sign that she has posted on her site for free!! The only difference is I painted a web on my door and then taped the spiders up!
Pumpkin Art
We made these before Open House this year. The kids did a really good job with them and followed directions really well. They were a quick, easy, and fun art for them. This is also a great activity to teach symmetry.
Materials: Black paper, orange paper, glue stick, scissors, and a pencil.
Step 1: Cute the orange paper in half. Give each student 1 piece of black paper and a 1/2 piece of orange paper.
Step 2: Draw half of a pumpkin on the orange paper.
Step 3: Cut out the pumpkin.
Step 4: Glue the outline of the pumpkin onto the black paper.
Step 5: Glue the pumpkin half on the black paper. Be sure to match it up with the orange outline.
Step 6: Glue the mouth, eye, and other half of the nose on to the black side.

September 11 Tapestry
I found this idea online a few years ago and did it with my art class. The activity was done with grades 3-5, but I wanted to try it with my 2nd graders this year. I was unsure how they would do, but they did an amazing job.
1. The first thing you do is draw 2 horizontal lines. One at the top and one at the bottom. This will divide the paper in to 3 parts. The middle section will need to be a little bigger.
2. The top section is for American symbols. They can draw anything that represents America. We watched the American symbols on BrainPopJr to help us with this.
3. The middle section is divided into 3 sections. (invisible lines) On the first part, the kids draw what the twin towers looked like before 9/11. The middle part is for what it looked like when the planes hit. The last part is for what it looked like after 9/11.
4. The bottom section is for them to draw what people around the world were doing the morning of 9/11.
Below are a few pics to help explain how the project is completed.
