Collage!

These first graders were happily gluing for the entire hour!

"It was hard to make the yarn stick, so I pushed it down hard. And that's a picture of a watch like my uncle wears. The pink yarn is part of the dragonfly's tail, and the other yarn is to hang up the picture in my room."

"I used a hole punch, well, different hole punches. A regular one, and then ones that did shapes."

"This is the street, and the green things are houses. I live there, and I put my friend's house next door. 'Cept she doesn't really live next door, I just pretended. And these green poofyish things are the trees."

"I glued, and cut, and I drawed on stuff too."

"Look teacher! I made it stand up!"

"Okay, well, this is a boat, and it's supposed to go on the river, but then a bad guy tooked it away. So then, I made it so the good guys could get it back, 'cause there's a secret tunnel to it."

"I used the pastels to draw pictures of flowers, then I glued them on this paper. This orange paper is like the sun."
