Making Crowns

This afternoon, a student decided that she wanted to make a crown just like we had made earlier in the day for the "Birthday Girl". I helped by drawing zigzags on a piece of construction paper and instructed her to cut on the lines.  She needed some help, as cutting zigzags requires a bit of practice, but she did remarkably well.  Then I helped her staple the two pieces together.  Other students noticed the project and joined in.  Soon many students were working hard at making crowns.  What a wonderful project for practicing cutting skills and showing students that they are capable learners!  Time ran out and it was time to get ready for outside time and then home time, so we had to stop the work, but I am sure the project will continue next class!  Way to go Pre K!
