September Art Projects
Each student is given a giant letter to cut out and decorate for the first initial of their name. I copied the letters on colored construction paper. Each student decorated his/her letter with a band-aid --like "skinned knee D" from Chicka Chicka, Boom Boom. I send a letter home to ask for special, fun type bandaids. They also can use stickers of different shapes. Lakeshore Educational supplies has a large package of these geometric and basic shape stickers, crayons, etc. They come in handy for lots of different projects. Lakeshore has a online catalog order if you don't have a store near you. www.lakeshorelearning.com. Any kind of stickers would work. I laminated the letters after they were decorated. These letters are displayed on a bulletin board that is very high in our room. They add a bit of color and I leave them up all year long to avoid having to climb the ladder!
3. School Bus Art This is one of my favorite September projects. It was shared by my friend, Kerry. We trade lots of ideas. I think that she may have gotten it on the web somewhere? An paper type egg carton was painted bright yellow. After it has dried, children's pictures that have been cut out of magazines are glued behind the holes in the egg carton to look like children riding on the bus. Round, black construction paper circles are cut out for the wheels. Too cute!
