TEACHING TUESDAY [12.04.23]

Welcome to Teaching Tuesday! If you are new here, I’m a former teacher, have a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction and am now a homeschool mom. You can read more about that journey here.

Every Tuesday I’m going to share an at home learning idea for preschool and elementary age kids, new curriculum resources and a freebie or two!

Since we are coming up on Christmas, I thought it would be fun to share some homemade ornament ideas that you can do with preschoolers or elementary age kids. I LOVE homemade ornaments, especially with their little fingerprints. I have a whole tree of these little treasures that my kids have (and continue to) made over the years. They bring me such joy every year!

I’ll share a few different ornaments and crafts each week of December to make with your classroom or just with your kiddos at home and then we will get back to our regularly scheduled Teaching Tuesday content in January!

I found these ideas on Pinterest and will be linking to the original blogger who shared them.

1. Gingerbread Man Ornaments | 2. Laminated Snow Globe Ornaments | 3. Paint Pour Christmas Ornaments | 4. Christmas Characters Handprint Ornament

5. Footprint Christmas Ornaments | 6. Rudolph Photo Ornament | 7. Reindeer Thumbprint Ornament | 8. Fingerprint Christmas Tree

Here are new resources that I’ve been working on this month!
