George Washington
Ideas
I have included some of the things that
we do each year that have not been copyrighted. I will keep adding
to the sight as we get closer to February. So, check back to see
what other ideas.
Cherry Tree Art
We use this same idea to make Washington's cherry tree. This one
doesn't have any cherries! The tree trunk was painted with tempera.
The tree was made using small strips of newspaper that were rolled into a
small ball---like a spitball and glued onto the paper. This took a
long time to make lots and lots of small balls of wadded up newspaper!
You might want to do it in a couple of sessions. The tree was
painted green and details added with crayons. The rolled up balls of
newspaper add some texture to the art work!
George Washington $$$
 This
looks like a real one dollar bill, but it was an oversized bill that I
bought at the teacher's supply store to work on money. It's fun to
have the students write a story about what they would do with one
dollar...or $100. We bind the stories and put bills on the
cover...copies of bills!
Washington's
Portrait
This portrait was
done using a similar sty le
to TLC.
