Cornflake Leaves Freebie

Before I get to the freebie, here's my son and his new wife in a kabuki cab right after the wedding ceremony!

They got married on Saturday beside this pretty stone bridge. After the picture taking, their friend drove them through the park ~ there's a bike in front that you can't see. These are all the rage in Victoria, so it was a lot of fun :)

As you can imagine my life has been crazy for the last week, so I haven't really been blogging. School also starts for me a week today and now I'm doing the classroom set-up that I think everyone in North America has just about finished!

I almost always use this short but sweet poem at the beginning of the year. We combine it with a cornflake art project.

I don't have a pic or sample of the art, so I made this on photoshop. It's super easy! Give the kids dark blue construction paper and show them how to paint a bare tree. It looks great in either dark brown or black. Then all they do is glue on cornflakes for the leaves.

Yes! They eat them, too. But that's okay :)
