Holiday Stars

During the last week of school before the winter break, Mrs. Selby taught the class how to create beautiful stars out of paper. This is a craft that is popular in Germany, where Mrs. Selby is originally from. Each student selected 8 rectangular pieces of paper, then Mrs. Selby demonstrated to the class how to make the appropriate folds. The next day, we glued our stars together and had them laminated. For the remainder of the week, we admired our beautiful stars in our classroom windows. We loved discovering the various shapes made by the stars and all the colors that were created. Thanks, Mrs. Selby!

Gabriele,
Thanks for your kind words! The stars amazed me - they were so beautiful. They really brightened up our windows. I'm so thankful Mrs. Selby introduced this project to our class.
