Cross Sun Catchers

A peer. 

Materials Needed:

Parable of the Talents

Materials Needed:

• construction paper

• writing utensil 

• glue sticks

• scissors 

What I Did:

I gave students a white piece of paper and cut out the sacks, the back side of the sacks (glued to the white sheet) and a small bar of each color to put under the sack (to make it pop out). The students decorate the top and the boxes with markers or pencils or pens. Then the students glue the bottom part of the sack on the white sheet. Then fan out the small bar and put between sack and bottom part with glue. Make sure to write which talent is which sack before gluing. 

Valentine Wreath of Verses

What I Did:

I pre-cut small squares for the students to cut their own hearts out of the construction paper. After cutting the hearts out, I had the students write each verse and then glue the hearts together in the shape of a wreath.
