Hi, I teach 5th grade after teaching 2nd grade for 9 years. None of my 2nd grade seasonal things (making calendars, coloring, crossword puzzles, book marks...) are usable in 5th grade. I went to the local teacher supply store looking for an Evan Moor book, or something that has blackline masters for Grade 5. They didn't have anything! I know stuff is out there.,...if you have a favorite, can you email me the name of the book or website? Thanks!

Don't you have an art teacher at your school who can help you out?

Lynne,
I have a preview of my new E-Book "Holiday Food Fun For Little Ones, that should have some things you can do.
There are 4 activity/recipes in the preview and 50 in the full version.
Something that I did a few years ago was to get cinnamon sticks, various prints of holiday fabric cut into strips, small wooden stars, and "pins" to hot glue on the back to make a pin that the parents could wear. These pins are the sold in a package at a craft store and usually are gold. They have a flat panel to glue on a surfact and then the clasp and pin that the parents open and pin to their shirt. Here's what we did:
1. Wooden Star: paint with yellow paint or color with yellow marker and then set aside
2. Take small cinnamon stick and tie strips of fabric on the stick. Once the who stick has fabric strips down it, I would come around to the kids and cut the sides of the strips in the shape of a Christmas tree.
3. Hot glue or I guess you could use craft glue to glue the pin on the back of the cinnamon stick and glue the yellow star to the top of the front of the cinnamon stick fabric Christmas tree.
My daughter and I are having our daycare kids make Hand Prints on some white pillow cases. They are going to be gifts to the parents for Christmas. However we need a poem to put along with it. We have a few poems but they all talk about "hanging on the wall" and we are unsure how to change them. If any of you have a poem that just talks about childrens hand prints and growing up it would be a big help. Thank you for you time. Happy Holidays!
I have a picture of my spring version in my June 2007 teacher resources. The snowman version was using a dark colored carpet sample put a footprint (large part of foot) down. This is your snowman DON'T do both feet. Use the same foot twice if you want 2. I tried 2 feet the first year... OH MY what a mess!!! Once it is dry, you can add snowflakes, details on the snowman. We painted eyes, nose and buttons and stenciled on a hat. We also stenciled the word welcome at the top. More directions are on my website. There should be a link above, but you will have to go to the teacher resources section after you get to the home page. Sandy 4U

I'm sure there are other posts on paper mache but I can't find them. I need any practical tips on doing paper mache. What grades should I do this with? I have kindergarten - 5th grade. If I get parents to come help can K and 1st do this? What do you put your mixture in? I'm planning on using glue/water mixture unless there is something easier. I was thinking of doing tissue paper strips instead of newspaper with the little ones so they don't have to paint it. Any thoughts? Thanks!
I have done paper machhe with 3 to 6 year olds. A lot will depend on what you are making. I try to use balloons as much a possible. The easiest way I found is to make the mixture in a tub of some kind. Then you can dip your ballon in the mix, (in my class we call it "goo") and have the children place the paper on top. when the shape is covered dip again. I keep repeating this until I think it is thick enough. I have always used newspaper, I just tear it into 2 inch strips. I made a few big Dinosaurs and farm animals I use chicken wire to make the shape. I will start the process by doing the first layer and then have the children place the other layers only I will spread the goo on for them. I also do all paper mache in a water table. This way the mess is some what contained. The more you do the more "Tricks of the Trade" you will learn, and what works best with each class.
