Our classroom fireplace

As winter approaches, I find myself constantly freezing and thought a fireplace in the class would really make it a little warmer. My always excited 3rd graders eagerly agreed, so we went to work on our classroom's fireplace. They used black and white to paint the outer rocks, and painted the fire mixing yellow and red. I have felt warmer ever since it was taped on the wall. Pretty soon we will be hanging out hand-painted stockings with care on our fireplace.

Thanksgiving Display

Third graders made a beautiful Thanksgiving display. They painted the different elements: the grass, sun and tree. Others cut out lots and lots of fall leaves in fall colors. We put labels on some of the leaves about what we are thankful for.

Here is the final result:
