It was so fun to see how each tree was so unique.\r\n\r\nWe made winter tree sun catchers using the new tissue paper; tearing different colors into strips and layering them behind the tree stencil. The kids were VERY excited to use the brand new watercolor sets to paint wax resistant snowflakes. The kids were able to take home all of their winter projects to share and enjoy with their families over the break! \r\n\r\nI am really excited to return to school this week. We will be learning about letter R.
